I have finally tracked down the source of error. A diff between the 2008-11-18-2008 (builds ok) and 2008-11-19 (build fails as above) tar balls shows that the *.tgz link files are missing in R_HOME/src/library/Recommended/ in the latter tar ball. Once I manually created the links, gmake runs fine. Is this an omission or something to do with the way I am unpacking the tar balls? (I presume most people who build R-devel simply check out from trunk?) h. -- +--- | Hiroyuki Kawakatsu | Business School, Dublin City University | Dublin 9, Ireland.
