Hi, I'ma having some troubles installing R under Unix. As it is written in the "how to install R" the ./configure passed on but when I type make I recieve this error message : gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/m4' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `R'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/m4' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/tools' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `R'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/tools' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/doc' gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/doc/html' gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/doc/html/search' gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/doc/html/search' gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/doc/html' gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/doc/manual' gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `R'. gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/doc/manual' gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/doc' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/etc' gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/etc' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/share' gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/share' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src' gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/scripts' creating src/scripts/R.fe gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/scripts' gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/scripts' gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/scripts' gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/include' config.status: creating src/include/config.h config.status: src/include/config.h is unchanged Rmath.h is unchanged gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/include/R_ext' gmake[3]: Nothing to be done for `R'. gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/include/R_ext' gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/include' gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra' gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/blas' gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/blas' gmake[4]: `libRblas.so' is up to date. gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/blas' gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/blas' /usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/lib/libRblas.so is unchanged gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/blas' gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/blas' gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/bzip2' gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/bzip2' gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/bzip2' gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/bzip2' rm -f libbz2.a false cr libbz2.a blocksort.o bzlib.o compress.o crctable.o decompress.o huffman.o randtable.o gmake[4]: *** [libbz2.a] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/bzip2' gmake[3]: *** [R] Error 2 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra/bzip2' gmake[2]: *** [R] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src/extra' gmake[1]: *** [R] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R_HOME/R-2.4.0/src' gmake: *** [R] Error 1 I would be thankfull if you could help me going through this!

E.g. under Solaris it is in /usr/ccs/bin which is not normally in the path, but you haven't given us much to go on except to guess wildly. -- Brian D.
