It's your missing (or outdated) makeinfo that is coming back to bite
you. However, I'm a bit confuzzled because we do ship resources.html
et al. as part of the R tarball, so there shouldn't be a need to build
them. Were you building from an SVN checkout?

The way out is to install texinfo 4.7 or better. If you have the .html
files, you might be able to get by just by touch-ing or copying them.

As far as I can see something has deleted doc/html/resources.html: it is in the tarball. I cannot immediately guess what: have you done any sort of `make clean'?

Copying it from the virgin sources and doing `make install' again should fix this: if not perhaps you can keep an eye on what is apparently removing it.

BTW, where did /usr/local/bin/install come from? If that is not doing what is expected, it could be the problem.

Having:

    1.  Downloaded a fresh version of R-devel
    2.  Installed texinfo 4.8
    3.  moved my rogue /usr/local/bin/install file out of the way

R now builds and installs fine. It looks like X11 support is still missing
but presumably just needs -L/usr/openwin/lib/sparcv9.  Some further
investigation is needed for png, jpeg and tctlk support, but this can wait
for a little while.

Thanks very much for your help.
