[R] on-line help failed for ultra 10 (solaris 8)

[David Finlayson]

New Sun workstation with Solaris 8.  installed the gnu
compilers and libraries off the Solaris CD and
compiled R successfully.  I don't have a tex
installation or makeinfo (sp?) so the manuals failed
to compile, but otherwise R appears to be working. 
Unfortunately the on-line help (text-only) isn't
working.  Is this related to the failed manuals?
Example:

>?help
Error in help("help") : No documentation for 'help' in
specified packages and libraries

I attempted to 'make help' per the INSTALL page, but
this led to the following errors:

flow# make help
Can't locate File/Basename.pm in @INC at
/opt/sfw/R/R-1.1.1/bin/build-help line 23.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/opt/sfw/R/R-1.1.1/bin/build-help line 23.
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `DOCS'
Current working directory
/opt/sfw/R/R-1.1.1/src/library
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `help'
Current working directory
/opt/sfw/R/R-1.1.1/src/library
*** Error code 1 (ignored)

Any help/advise for kick starting the help system
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David Finlayson
