[R] installation problem on R-0.63.2

I'm trying to install version 0.63.2 on an SGI Origin 200 with plenty of
memory, running Irix 6.5. I previously installed 0.63.0 on this
same system without incident.

I'm getting the following error when I run ./configure:

creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I saw the recent discussion of this error on the mailing list, but
changing to force using gcc doesn't help, and forcing the use of cc
doesn't help, and specifying no flags in "CFLAGS" doesn't help either.
Those were the only things I was able to find in the archive that seemed
like they might help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
