Hello all, I am trying to install R 1.3.0 on SGI IRIX. I downloaded the .tar from CRAN, unpacked it and executed the following commands from the top level directory: ./configure make The ./configure completes OK, with the final summary output: -------------------- R is now configured for mips-sgi-irix6.5 Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -g -O2 C++ compiler: c++ -g -O2 FORTRAN compiler: g77 -g -O2 X11 support: yes Gnome support: no Tcl/Tk support: no R profiling support: yes R as a shared library: no ----------------- Following that, the make appears to complete OK with some non-fatal linker warnings. I then run "make check" and get the following error message: --------------- 22 gomez R-1.3.0> make check creating tests/Makefile creating tests/Examples/Makefile don't know how to make ../../library/base/R/base (bu42). *** Error code 1 (bu21) *** Error code 1 (bu21) *** Error code 1 (bu21) *** Error code 1 (bu21) ------------------ At this point, if I try running R (i.e. the "R" script in the /bin directory) I get the following fatal error: ----------------------------- 25 gomez bin> R R : Copyright 2001, The R Development Core Team Version 1.3.0 (2001-06-22) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Funny. From what you show below, "make" didn't properly create the base package or did not at the proper place which from your toplevel is ./library/base/R/base (a file with some 22000 lines, some 700k bytes) (or you didn't give us the whole story above) AH> I then run "make check" and get the following error message: AH> --------------- AH> 22 gomez R-1.3.0> make check AH> creating tests/Makefile AH> creating tests/Examples/Makefile AH> don't know how to make ../../library/base/R/base (bu42).

Hard to tell why, it might help to look at what happened *after* building R.bin. What happens if you do cd src/library/base; make ??? -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
