Dear R users,
I was trying to install "R" on an ALPHA running OSF1/V5.1 for
individual
use, but warning messages came out when I run "./configure" and
"make".
The following is part of output:
% ./configure --prefix=$home/r

I read R Installation and Administration and tried "gmake" instead of
"make", unfortunatly it didn't help either.
I was wondering if anyone can help me out?
Thanks,
