I initially thought this only was the case for me on R-devel, but also just tested it on the current R-patched and R-2.1.1 (so perhaps this more belongs on R-help, but ...).
I'm having an odd error with the makefiles in src/library/XXX while building R. When it tries to create the 'po' directory, the Makefile specifies: @if test -d $(srcdir)/inst/po; then \ $(MKINSTALLDIRS) $(top_builddir)/library/$(pkg)/po; \ cp -pr $(srcdir)/inst/po/* $(top_builddir)/library/$(pkg)/po; \ find "$(top_builddir)/library/$(pkg)/po" -name .svn -type d -prune \ -exec rm -rf \{\} \; 2>/dev/null; \ fi However, mine dies with the error: make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/disk2/home/jgentry/R-devel/src/library/base' building package 'base' all.R is unchanged make[3]: *** [all] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/disk2/home/jgentry/R-devel/src/library/base' make[2]: *** [R] Error 1 If I put an echo in between the find and the 'fi', it will no longer throw an error and go to the next package (where it will fail as I didn't put the echo in there, presumably I could go and put an echo in all of the base packages and my install would work though). Has anyone seen this? FWIW I'm using an AMD x86_64 machine, running RHEL WS 3.2 Thanks ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
