[R] Regarding R package spatstat

[Rolf Turner]

Why are you trying to install version 1.26-0?  That is very ancient; it 
dates from April 2012.

The version currently on CRAN is 1.38-1.  I would suggest that you try that.

I have no idea why your installation is hanging at the byte-compile 
stage, nor any idea how to diagnose the problem.  I tried a test just
now and managed to do an install of version 1.26-0 with no problems and 
no hangup.

cheers,

Rolf Turner

P. S.  I am puzzled as to how you are getting 'Target "all" is up to 
date' given that you are installing from the tarball.  This should only 
happen when you install from the unpacked *directory* "spatstat" (after
a previous install which would have built the required shared object 
library). Also, when I go through that process I get

> make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

rather than  'Target "all" is up to date'.  So something has been 
altered in your system, it would appear.  Hard to say what.
