[R] Error in building R

[Giovanni Petris]

Hello,

I am upgrading to the current R 2.5.1 under Sun Solaris 8.  I call the
configure script with the --without-readline flag, and it works
fine. Then, when I invoke make, I get this kind of error messages:


make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R/R-2.5.1-inst/src/library'
 >>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'base'
     Formats: text html latex example 
Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference at /usr/local/R/R-2.5.1-inst/share/perl/R/Rdconv.pm line 78.
 >>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'tools'
     Formats: text html latex example 
Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference at /usr/local/R/R-2.5.1-inst/share/perl/R/Rdconv.pm line 78.

     Formats: text html latex example 
Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference at /usr/local/R/R-2.5.1-inst/share/perl/R/Rdconv.pm line 78.


(I don't know if this has to do with perl, but I have version 5.005_03)

Does anybody have a suggestion about how to fix the problem? 

Thanks in advance,
Giovanni
