[R] Building R on RHEL 5

[Erik Wright]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade to the latest R release on a machine running Red Hat el5.  Previously I was successful at building R 2.11, but now I am having troubles with R 2.14.

Configure goes fine, but then make throws a lot of errors (output below).  Any idea what I am doing wrong this time around?

Thanks in advance,
Erik
