[R] problem in making R from sources on SGI IRIX

[Andrew Hill]

Hello all,

I am trying to install R 1.3.0 on SGI IRIX.  I downloaded the .tar from CRAN, unpacked it and executed the following commands from the top level directory:

./configure
make

The ./configure completes OK, with the final summary output:
--------------------
R is now configured for mips-sgi-irix6.5

  Source directory:          .
  Installation directory:    /usr/local
  C compiler:                gcc  -g -O2
  C++ compiler:              c++  -g -O2
  FORTRAN compiler:          g77  -g -O2

  X11 support:               yes
  Gnome support:             no
  Tcl/Tk support:            no

  R profiling support:       yes
  R as a shared library:     no

-----------------
Following that, the make appears to complete OK with some non-fatal linker warnings.  I then run "make check" and get the following error message:
---------------
22 gomez R-1.3.0> make check
creating tests/Makefile

don't know how to make ../../library/base/R/base (bu42).
*** Error code 1 (bu21)
*** Error code 1 (bu21)
*** Error code 1 (bu21)
*** Error code 1 (bu21)
------------------

At this point, if I try running R (i.e. the "R" script in the /bin directory) I get the following fatal error:
-----------------------------

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

Can anyone offer any advice on what my problem is?  I guess that the base package is not being made properly?  Any help would be appreciated.

Andrew Hill.
