I have been trying to compile R. I downloaded R-1.0.1.tgz(I think;
the original tar file was untarred) and unpacked it with gzip. Now
all the R files are in a directory named R-1.0.1. The source files
(.c) are in R-1.0.1/src. There are files in R-1.0.1 named
'Makefile.in',
'Makeconf.in', and 'Makeconf'. I followed the instructions in
INSTALL
by typing './configure'. Here is the output:
----------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------
'configure' seems to work in a way. The applications it didn't find
aren't on
this system, as far as I know. I don't know why the C compiler couldn't
make
executables.
After typing './configure', I followed the instructions in INSTALL
again and
typed 'make -f Makefile.in'. Here are the results:
--------------------------------------------------------
pauling 3% make -f Makefile.in

----------------------------------------
The system here is IRIX 6.5, on a Silicon Graphics workstation. The
'env'
file has SHELL=/bin/csh. The 'make' may not be GNU make.
I don't know how to compile all the source files in the R directory
into
a working version of R. I may just not be giving the right commands to
'make', or not have the right version of 'make'. If GNU make is
needed,
I can get the tar file and unpack it, but may not be able to compile
that
either.
