[Rd] gnome support fail on startup (PR#426)

[Robert.King@mailbox.gu.edu.au]

Sorry folks,
   This isn't a gnome bug at all.  It has to do with make.

The binary is in RHOME, but /usr/local/bin/R is still the 0.90.0 script

The make failed half way through the install:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/usr+/slashusr/local/lib/R/demos'
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/usr+/slashusr/local/lib/R/doc'
installing doc ...
/usr/bin/install: `../doc/html/search/index.txt' and
`/usr/local/lib/R/doc/html/search/index.txt' are the same file
make[1]: *** [install-html] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/usr+/slashusr/local/lib/R/doc'
make: *** [install] Error 1

but because it was in the documentation section, I ignored it.
Dumb - I know. (for your info, /mnt/usr+/slashusr is symlinked to /usr)

This may have happened because I didn't clear out all the make after
failing the first make with gnome.

In most countries selling harmful things like drugs is punishable.
Then howcome people can sell Microsoft software and go unpunished?
