[Rd] unable to compile Recommended packages

[Alex Bryant]

Thank you for your responses.  It turns out the problem was my version of 'tar' on solaris.  I downloaded the latest Gnu tar and the install completed successfully.  Who would of know ;)

Thanks again,
Alex

Did you run

$RHOME/src/tools/rsync-recommended

to obtain the most recent versions of the recommended packages before
trying to compile them?
