Re: [R] Eror message: not a valid package -- installed 2.0.0

I don't know where make lives on your machine, but it must be somewhere: /usr/ccs/bin/make ?? find / -name make ?

From the R directory, after configuring successfully, try /usr/ccs/bin/make Do read the INSTALL manual, as BDR suggested ... that also suggests MAKE=/usr/ccs/bin/make $MAKE (instead of make) it also sounds like you're inexperienced with building software (apologies if not true), so the INSTALL file might be written at too high a level.

Re: [R] Eror message: not a valid package -- installed 2.0.0
./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?
