[R] R Installation in Ubuntu 5.04 [Hoardy Hedgehog]

[M Senthil Kumar]

Hello there,

I had been learning to use R for some time and I am trying to install it
on Ubuntu 5.04 Linux. I downloaded the tarball, there was some problem
with the installation. Perhaps someone who faced similar problems might
help me.

I downloaded the latest release R Version 2.2.1 from their website.

I did:
$ tar -xzvf R-2.2.1.tar.gz

then:

$ cd R-2.2.1/

followed by:

$./configure

There were no error messages at this point.

then:
sudo make

which gave the following:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/senthil/R-2.2.1/m4'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `R'.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask for help. But i tried
googling with the above error message and it did not even fetch a single
page.

Thanks in advance,

Senthil
