[R] nlme html?

[Christian Hoffmann]

Hi,

When installing "nlme" from CRAN on Solaris 5.3.1 by doing

install.packages("nlme")

I get:

[clip]
gcc -G  -o nlme.so corStruct.o gnls.o matrix.o nlOptimizer.o nlme.o
nlmefit.o nls.o pdMat.o -L/usr/local/lib  
 R
 data
 inst
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: /bin/perl: not found
 help
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/build-help: not found
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/Rd2contents: not found
 DONE (nlme)

I wonder why I have never encountered this difficulty before. I have:

> .lib.loc
[1] "/home/woodstock/hoffmann/R/Sources/lib"
[2] "/usr/local/lib/R/library"              

and

/bin >which perl
/usr/local/bin/perl

This seems non-standard!?

And quite OK:
