Hello All, I have downloaded and untarred R 2.10.0 onto my SUN UNIX machine. When I run ./configure, it runs through a series of questions and stops at this (and I get this when I try the make command):
checking for iconv.h... yes checking for iconv... in libiconv checking whether iconv accepts "UTF-8", "latin1" and "UCS-*"... no configure: error: a suitable iconv is essential # make make: not found Could someone decipher this and tell me how I would get a suitable iconv? And is that indeed what it causing make to not be found? I did find this info below in the admin manual appendix. However, when I click on the link and run the suggested install, I get the same results. A suitably comprehensive iconv function is essential. The R usage requires iconv to be able to translate between "latin1" and "UTF-8", to recognize "" as the current encoding and to translate to and from the Unicode wide-character formats "UCS-[24][BL]E" - this is true for glibc but not of most commercial Unixes. However, you can make use of GNU libiconv (possibly as a plug-in replacement: see http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
