[R] coredump at the of 'configure' and error for 'make'
Hi, I got some errors when I attempted to build R on my Solaris 9 box. Can someone please provide some suggestion on what to do next? The "configure" process was fine expect that I got a some warning message and a coredump at the end. What does that affect? Can I still build it? ./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/R/ --with-x=no R is now configured for i386-pc-solaris2.9 Source directory: . Installation directory: /var/tmp/R/ C compiler: gcc -g -O2 Fortran 77 compiler: g77 -g -O2 C++ compiler: g++ -g -O2 Fortran 90/95 compiler: g77 -g -O2 Obj-C compiler: -g -O2 Interfaces supported: External libraries: readline Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, iconv, MBCS, NLS Options enabled: shared BLAS, R profiling, Java Recommended packages: yes configure: WARNING: you cannot build the object documentation system configure: WARNING: I could not determine a browser configure: WARNING: I could not determine a PDF viewer ./configure[64111]: 10817 Segmentation Fault(coredump) I tried to build it anyway. When I ran "make", I got an error. What may go wrong here? make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/R-2.6.2/src/library/profile' make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/R-2.6.2/src/library/base' building package 'base' all.R is unchanged ../../../library/base/R/base is unchanged ../../../bin/R: bad substitution make[3]: *** [all] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/R-2.6.2/src/library/base' make[2]: *** [R] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/R-2.6.2/src/library' make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/R-2.6.2/src' make: *** [R] Error 1 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
