[Rd] Question on trying to build R 2.11.1 on Tru64(aka OSF1)

[Bill.Glessner at cwu.EDU]

I created a separate build directory, started with a fresh source directory,
changed directory into the build directory, ran configure from the source
directory. 
Then put 'set -v' at the top of <build-directory>/src/scripts/Rcmd before
issuing the gnumake.
The build had the same problem with the packages and provided the following
output at that stage:

gnumake[1]: Leaving directory `/usrX/JunqueYard/R-2.11.1_build/src/library'
gnumake[1]: Entering directory `/usrX/JunqueYard/R-2.11.1_build/src/library/Reco
mmended'
gnumake[2]: Entering directory `/usrX/JunqueYard/R-2.11.1_build/src/library/Reco
mmended'
begin installing recommended package MASS

I think that I am following the instructions in the "R Installation and 
Administration" manual, but results would suggest otherwise. I greatly
appreciate any suggestions.

Regards,
Bill
