First I tried 'setenv R_SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash', as bash is the weapon
of choice for the faculty wishing to use R, then ran ./configure as before.
The ./configure output line
using as R_SHELL for scripts ... /usr/local/bin/bash
would seem to indicate that the R_SHELL environment variable was recognized
and acknowledged. However, I got the same build error:
gnumake[2]: Entering directory

I tried removing the R_SHELL environment variable and editing the
./src/scripts/Rcmd.in, changing the {1}'s to {...@}'s. ./configure
produced the following line showing that R_SHELL was back to ksh:
using as R_SHELL for scripts ... /bin/ksh
But that also produced the same build error

I also tried 'setenv R_SHELL /bin/sh' with the same results.
