[R] R-1.9.1 compiling problem

[lu kan]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your help. 

But the installation file "INSTALL" comes with
R-1.9.1.
The following is a copy of it.

			INSTALLING R UNDER UNIX


This document concerns building and installing R from
sources.  Pre-made
binaries are made available for some systems with
varying regularity and
can be obtained from CRAN (see the RESOURCES file).

For building on Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000 see the file
`src/gnuwin32/INSTALL'.

The main source of information on installation is the
`R Installation
and Administration Manual', an HTML copy of which is
available as file
`doc/html/R-admin.html'.  Please read that before
installing R.  But
if you are impatient, read on but please refer to the
manual to
resolve any problems.


SIMPLE COMPILATION

As you are reading this file, you have unpacked the R
sources and are
presumably in the top directory.  Issue the following
commands:

	./configure
	make

(If your make is not called `make', set the
environment variable MAKE to
its name, and use that name throughout these
instructions.)
This will take a while, giving you time to read
`R-admin.html'.

Then check the built system worked correctly, by

	make check

and make the manuals by (as many options as preferred
from)

	make dvi	to create DVI versions
	make pdf	to create PDF versions
	make info	to create info files


INSTALLATION

You do not need to install R to run it: you can run R
by the script
`bin/R' which you can link or copy to any convenient
place in your path.

For a site-wide installation, use

	make install
	make install-dvi
	make install-info
	make install-pdf

choosing to install the manuals that you made.

This installs to the default location (typically
`/usr/local') for your
platform: see the Installation and Administration
Manual for other options.
