Hi Everyone: Gavin's been so generous and patient that I figured I'd give
him a break and send this snag to the list. When I do get this working, I
will send  an "How to build R from the tarball " instructions message to
this list for posterity's sake ( and myself and anyone else who doesn't
know how to build R from the tarball ).

So, here's my latest snag:  Gavin got me through the configure and the
make. So, then I did make check and I get below. But, since that error
didn't seem that serious, I figured I'd see whether R would run anyway. The
output of the R command is below what's below. It's expecting a file in
/usr/lib/R I think ? But maybe the fact that the tests don't complete
successfully causes that. I looked to see if I have an ENVIRONMENT variable
for R in my
.bashrc but it doesn't have one. Thanks for all the help. From past
experiences, I knew it was going to be a long road and it has been but I'm
getting close.
