[R] Problem compiling R 2.1.* on SUSE 9.2

[Sean O'Riordain]

Hi!

what point exactly in the command sequence does it fail? during make?
or make install?

You might try saving the output and the error from the build into a
file? Something along the lines of
./configure 2>&1  >filename

or even
./configure 2>&1  >filename | tee configure_output.txt

etc.

cheers!
Sean
