[R] Problem installing R

[MAKSIM OKS]

Hello,

my name is Maksim Oks and I've tried to install R on my machine.  It
runs UNIX (sun-solaris 2.7).
I've got the UNIX version of R of the CRAN website, unzipped and untared
it and then followed the instructions in the INSTALL file.  I've set
MAKE =gmake and then typed:
./configure
gmake
gmake check

Then when I try to run R by typing R it says that the command is not
found.  Can anyone suggest what's going on?  I'm including some of the
error messages that followed during the above 3 steps.  Thanks,

Max
