Direct hit! Your guess was right.
After removing line 24 in po/Makefile.in.in all went fine.
R-beta_2008-08-16_r46368.tar.gz now compiles and installs perfect on
FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT.
Thank you very much for your response.

Can you track down which Makefile this is and what line 28 is?
My guess is that your make does not like the comment character at line
24 in po/Makefile.in.in, in which case please delete the line.
But the BSD-like makes on Solaris and MacOS have no problem with it.

Stop in /usr/local/R-beta.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This happens with all recent beta versions. R version 2.7.1 Patched
(2008-08-10 r46284) installed and worked fine.
Could this be a bug with R-beta or is there something wrong with my
FreeBSD version?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
