Hello, I'm in the process of trying to upgrade our R software from version 2.2.3 to 2.3.0 on our Sun workstations. In the installation process I'm encountering some puzzling errors whe I do the 'make install.' After installing the doc files successfully the installation process crashes while trying to install the etc files, with the following messages:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R-2.3.0/doc' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R-2.3.0/etc' installing etc ... /bin/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;' /bin/bash: -c: line 1: `for f in ; do ../tools/install-sh -c -m 644 ${f} "/usr/local/lib/R/etc"; done' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R-2.3.0/etc' make: *** [install] Error 1 I've been studying the Makefile trying to figure out what would cause such an error but so far I haven't been able to figure it out. We are using Solaris 8 with GNU make version 3.79.1. I've also tried using the Sun default make (i.e. /usr/ccs/bin/make) but I get the same result. I've installed R (previous versions) many times on Solaris previously without any problems and I'm puzzled as to why we're encountering this problem in 2.3.0. Does anybody have any suggestions for things I can try to remedy this problem? Thanks very much, Eric ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
