I have just received some additional information. After the "No space
left on device", there are many file not found error messages. Also, the
first time or two our admin ran the install process R would not start.
Now R can start up despite all of the error messages. Can these error
messages be ignored?

I am forwarding the below message from our sys-admin because I don't
know what the problem is. We are getting a "No space left on device"
error when there is plenty of space. See below.

Subject: Install of R 2.9.0
Mark -
I'm having trouble installing R-2.9.0. During "make install" it thinks
it's running out of space when there's actually lots of space available.
I'm installing this on the head node of a cluster running SLES 9 into a
common GPFS filesystem named /apps. Any ideas?
These are the basic steps I'm using to install R -
Create a directory - /apps/R/R290
Copy the tar file to /apps/R/R290
cd /apps/R/R290
tar -xzvf R-2.9.0.tar.gz
cd R-2.9.0
./configure prefix=/apps/R/R290
make
make check
make install
all appears to go well until well into "make install". The first
indication of errors is -
