[Rd] Problem installing R-devel data 4 March 2016.

[Rolf Turner]

I am trying to install the latest development version of R so as to be 
able to perform a package check according the rules specified for CRAN.

I performed the following steps:

(1) Downloaded  R-devel.tar.gz, dated 04-Mar-2016 03:21, from CRAN
(2) Upacked.
(3) Created directory "BldDir" next to the directory "R-devel".
(4) Changed directories to BldDir.
(5) Executed  ../R-devel/configure --with-tcltk --with-cairo .
(6) Executed make .
(7) Executed sudo make install .

I got the error messages:
   .
   .
   .

Can someone/anyone tell me what I am missing or doing wrong?

Ta.

cheers,
