R help - Nov 2009 - Problem building R 2.10.0 - Matrix package

All:

Attached is the output file from building R 2.10.0 on RedHat Linux. I 
have never previously experienced any problems when building R from 
source with new releases. But, now I get a compile error with the Matrix 
package:

CHOLMOD/Include/cholmod.h:87:22: error: UFconfig.h: No such file or 
directory
make[3]: *** [CHMfactor.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/RtmppKsKKl/R.INSTALL327b23c6/Matrix/src'
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Matrix'

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I am simply doing this, as I always have:

./configure --prefix=/Local/install/location (I can not use the default)
make

I should add that even with this error with the Matrix package, I can do 
a 'make install' OK. Subsequently, R seems to come up fine from the 
command line?

Regards,
Tom

very strange.  UFconfig.h is part of the Matrix package sources,
and we (Matrix maintainers, or R core) have never heard of such
a problem.
Could it be that your disk / filesystem was close to 100% full,
and during unpacking (of the Matrix package source in  
  R-2.10.0/src/library/Recommended/
  where you should have (ls -l) something like
  -rw-r--r--  ... ... ... 1991383  Oct 9 04:05  Matrix_0.999375-31.tar.gz
) parts where lost?

Have you ever retried the whole procedure?

well, but 

  library(Matrix)

would fail, wouldn't it?

The Raw Hide packaging of R 2.10.0 has Matrix in it as a

[herrold at centos-5 monit]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/R/library/Matrix

... whose packaging of such a build of R are you using, that 
you need to package /Matrix separately?

Thank you, Russ,

No, we were talking about building R from the sources.
That should still be pretty easily possible on any Linux system
{which has compilers/perl/latex/tcltk/ .... and a couple of libraries}.
