Dear All, I'm having problems at the configure stage when trying to build R on Solaris 5.8. configure finds everything it needs but when it runs config.status to make all the Makefiles and headers, I get a huge slew of errors like this: config.status: creating src/extra/zlib/Makefile sed: -e expression #1, char 329: Unterminated `s' command sed: file /tmp/cs6134-11745/subs-1.sed line 38: Unterminated `s' command config.status: creating src/include/Makefile sed: -e expression #1, char 323: Unterminated `s' command sed: file /tmp/cs6134-11745/subs-1.sed line 38: Unterminated `s' command ...and so on. I have tried replacing Solaris's native sed with GNU sed (in fact the above messages are from GNU sed but Solaris sed fails in a similar way). I have also tried setting CONFIG_SHELL to /foo/bar/bin/bash to force configure not to use solaris's cheesy /bin/sh . No success, so now I am at a loss. The problem occurs with R-1.5.0 but not with R-1.4.1 (and of course there is no problem on my Linux box!) Any ideas welcome.
