[R] Compiling R, cannot open vars.mk

[Arne Gjuvsland]

Hi!

I am trying to compile R-1.8.1 on an alphaserver running Tru64 Unix.
I use the compilers cc,cxx and f77. After the compilation
I try: make check
and get the following message:

Make: Cannot open /share/make/vars.mk.  Stop.

Does anyone have any suggestions on why?
