I am running 2.6.0 because I can't seem to get 2.8.1 configured properly. When I do ./configure, it goes through a long list, and ends with
configure: error: --with-iconv=yes (default) and a suitable iconv is not available When I run make, I get the message below. # make make: not found So does anybody have any help regarding how do get the install to work? Otherwise, I am stuck with 2.6.0.

Installing R on SunOS is not quite the breeze that it is on MacOS, Windows, or Linux, but it's not that bad ... and you are much more likely to get help from the list if you make it worth people's while to help you by either (1) explaining why you are stuck with an old version [regulatory compliance/mission-critical old R software] or (2) installing recent R and showing that the problem persists.
