R help - Jul 2003 - R on Solaris 9

I am attempting an install of R-1.7.1 on a Sun Solaris 9 box.  It is a V880.
It has 8 processors at 950MHz each and 32 Gb of physical memory.

 

I can './configure' and after, I get the following:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.9

 

  Source directory:          .

  Installation directory:    /usr/local

 

  C compiler:                gcc  -g -O2

  C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2

  Fortran compiler:          g77  -g -O2

 

  Interfaces supported:      X11

  External libraries:        

  Additional capabilities:   PNG, bzip2, PCRE

  Options enabled:           R profiling

 

  Recommended packages:      yes

 

configure: WARNING: you cannot build DVI versions of the R manuals

configure: WARNING: you cannot build info versions of the R manuals

configure: WARNING: you cannot build PDF versions of the R manuals

 

I can run the 'make' fine, but when I run the 'make check' I
receive the
following errors:

root@sapporo(R-1.7.1)# make check

collecting examples for package 'base' ...

 >>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'base'

     Formats: text example 

running code in 'base-Ex.R' ...*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `base-Ex.Rout'

Current working directory /tmp/R-1.7.1/tests/Examples

*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test-Examples-Base'

Current working directory /tmp/R-1.7.1/tests/Examples

*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test-Examples'

Current working directory /tmp/R-1.7.1/tests

*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test-all-basics'

Current working directory /tmp/R-1.7.1/tests

*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check'

 

Obviously, because of these errors, I cannot do a successful 'make
install'.

 

I am not a very experienced script programmer and I'm sure this weakness
will not help in this matter.  I have two other Solaris 8 machines and
R-1.7.1 installed successfully.

 

I'd appreciate any help on this matter, please respond to my
dapayne@purdue.edu email.  Thanks in advance.

You will need to check base-Ex.Rout to see what went
wrong, and what other important piece of software 
is missing.
