./configure --prefix=/appl/R-1.9.1
then ran "make" (note that this is NOT gmake, which may make the difference). The error message I get is:
Make: cannot open /share/make/vars.mk. Stop.
The file share/make/vars.mk is there and readable, but share is a subdirectory of the main installation directory. Upon examining Makefile and associated files, I found a statement in Makeconf
include $(top_srcdir)/share/make/vars.mk
which I suspected was the problem -- perhaps the definition of top_srcdir not is carrying over from the Makefile that references Makeconf. (One reason I suspect this statement is that it is new since the version of R that I installed easily, as well as the early reference to this particular file.)
I have tried a bunch of ways of modifying this statement, including an explicit path in this statement. I think that did work, but a similar problem then occurred at a later point that I haven't yet located.
Has anyone gotten this installation to work on this platform?
