Hi there, After a little work i got R2.10.0 to compile on my solaris 10 64 bit computers. However the extra packages dont seem to install when i run: install.packages(CRAN.packages()[,1]) Also at the tail end of the make there was an error that stated it could not compile certain recommended packages: writing package indices begin installing recommended package boot ERROR: cannot extract package from ?boot.tgz? *** Error code 1 The following command caused the error: MAKE="make" R_LIBS= ../../../bin/R CMD INSTALL --no-lock -l "../../../library" boot.tgz > boot.ts.out 2>&1 || (cat boot.ts.out && exit 1) make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `boot.ts' Current working directory /inst/pkg-arch/R-2.10.0/src/library/Recommended *** Error code 1 The following command caused the error: make stamp-recommended make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `recommended-packages' Current working directory /inst/pkg-arch/R-2.10.0/src/library/Recommended *** Error code 1 The following command caused the error: (cd src/library/Recommended && make) make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `stamp-recommended' Any help would be appreciated.
