Hello, I am installing R on a Sun Solaris 64-bit machine. I followed the instructions in the "R Installation and Administration" guide. I am amazed at how much is going on during the installation process and I congratulate the people who have put all this together for the ones amongst us who don't have the required skills to do it. The installation went fairly well I think, I got the following Warnings from "configure". I guess that the required packages to build the different R manuals were not found on the machine, I am a little surprised regarding the PDF manuals since Acrobat reader is installed and "/opt/Acrobat5/bin" is on the PATH; emacs is also installed and in the PATH variable? 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 "make" ran with no complaints. "make check" ended with the following messages, is that a concern, should I pursue the installation or is this realy a fatal error as the message states? If so what should I do differently? running tests of Internet and socket functions expect some differences running code in 'internet.R' ...*** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `internet.Rout' Current working directory /actuaria/application/R-1.8.1/tests *** Error code 1 (ignored) Thank you very much for your support, G?rald Jean Analyste-conseil (statistiques), Actuariat t?lephone : (418) 835-4900 poste (7639) t?lecopieur : (418) 835-6657 courrier ?lectronique: gerald.jean at spgdag.ca "In God we trust all others must bring data" W.

You probably don't have LaTeX installed, which is why you cannot build the PDF manuals. It has nothing to do with Acrobat or Emacs. I believe the checks in internet.R can be ignored (as the output says). Does the R installation run? -roger Gerald.Jean at spgdag.ca wrote:> Hello, > > I am installing R on a Sun Solaris 64-bit machine.

It is probably an authentication problem (might you need a proxy set?), but it would be wise to track it a bit further. -- Brian D.
