Dear Maria,

this is quite probably my faul, in some way. The UCS software has been abandoned a bit recently, as I'm planning to rewrite it into a pure R package. On the other hand, I still use the software occasionally, so it should work with recent R versions.

I am trying to install a program based on R, but I am receiving the
following error message:
r...@darkstar:/home/maria/UCS# perl System/Install.perl
Error: Can't run the R interpreter (/usr/local/bin/R).
Please make sure that R is installed and specify the fully qualified
filename of the R interpreter with -R if necessary (see "doc/ install.txt").

This either means that your R installation is damaged and Install.perl can't run the command "R --version"; or that it has problems parsing the output of this command, so it thinks there's something wrong with R.

What do you get if you type

        /usr/local/bin/R --version

in a shell window?

Which version of UCS are you trying to install? The message printed by "R --version" was changed some time ago (in early 2006, or so), so the Install.perl script stopped working at that time. You need to download UCS-0.5-prerelease, which works for me (version 0.4 will not).

If you still can't get it to work, please contact me off-list so we can figure out the problem.

Cheers,
Stefan
