The INSTALL.in script in src/scripts has this at line 620: if ! test -f "${R_INCLUDE_DIR}/R.h" ; then That fails to run under sh on Solaris (itis OK in bash, which is why it runs OK on Linux). The correct sh syntax is: if test ! -f "${R_INCLUDE_DIR}/R.h" ; then i.e. test understands that ! means not, but the if statement in sh doesn't. The result of this is that you get error messages tryign to install extensions on Solaris. /the/path/to/my/installation/2.8.0/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: !: not found ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
