I'm not sure of *anything* since I don't understand the subtleties of the procedure @ all.

What I did was *remove* the directory created by untarring the R tarball.  I then
unpacked the tarball again, made the requisite edits to config.site, moved
/sw aside, took the line referring to /sw/bin/init.csh out of my .cshrc file,
did ./configure (that worked!) and then did ``make''.

Wound up getting:

What is the ``-lSM'' business all about?  What is ``SM''?  How do
I get the missing library?  Psigh!  :-(
