./configure --help gives a list of configuration options. I'm not sure, but it looks like there might be a problem building bzip libraries -- not sure why.
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.pdf has Solaris building notes for Solaris, but the only mention of bzip2 in the manual seems to be under HP-UX ... you've already put /usr/ccs/bin in your path (as suggested in the manual) ... Anyone else out there have clues? Ben Powers, Randall - BLS wrote: > You are correct. I am definitely an inexperienced, untrained beginner.
