false should be in /usr/bin/false:
auk% which false
/usr/bin/false
auk% ls -l `which false`
-r-xr-xr-x   1 bin      bin           314 Jul 16  1997 /usr/bin/false*

It is not clear from your output what this is trying to do: I get
auk% make -n R
/opt/R/cvs/R/tools/mkinstalldirs ../doc/html/search
cat /opt/R/cvs/R/doc/html/search/SearchEngine-head.html > \
  ../doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html
../tools/keywords2html /opt/R/cvs/R/doc/KEYWORDS.db >> \
  ../doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html
cat /opt/R/cvs/R/doc/html/search/SearchEngine-foot.html >> \
  ../doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html
if [ "/opt/R/cvs/R/doc" != "." ]; then \
  make rhome=.. install-html; \
  (cd manual && make R); \
fi
echo "installing doc ..."
...

so one of these is failing (and I think not the if clause as that should
echo something). Can you do the same and track down what has not been
created?
