[R] Problem compiling R - "use of NULL environment is defunct"
Hello,
I downloaded R-2.5.1 and configured it on a AMD x86-74 running
Redhat. During compilation i get this error
configure --prefix=$HOME/mine
make
mkdir -p -- ../../../../library/methods/libs
make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/sguha/tmp/R-2.5.1/src/library/
methods/src'
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/sguha/tmp/R-2.5.1/src/library/
methods/src'
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/sguha/tmp/R-2.5.1/src/library/
methods'
dumping R code in package 'methods'
Error in `parent.env<-`(`*tmp*`, value = NULL) :
use of NULL environment is defunct
Execution halted
make[4]: *** [../../../library/methods/R/methods.rdb] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/sguha/tmp/R-2.5.1/src/library/methods'
make[3]: *** [all] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/sguha/tmp/R-2.5.1/src/library/methods'

make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sguha/tmp/R-2.5.1/src'
make: *** [R] Error 1
Could someone point out what I'm supposed to fix?
Thank you for your time

Have you set a library path pointing to old packages of a former R version? BTW: Additionally, you can try out R-2.6.0 release candidate these days and help during evaluation!
