All, I am a new user to Linux but I am familiar with R. I have previously used and installed R on a Windows platform without problems. I recently set up a dual boot system (XP_64, Mandriva) to run R on a Linux platform in order to more efficiently handle large datasets. I have not done compiling before, but read the R instructions and followed to my best ability. I downloaded the most recent tar and unpacked it into /usr/local/R_HOME. I was able to run ./configure and added the additional Linux packages necessary to compile. The problem arises using the 'make' command. When I run make I get an error that there is not a target or a makefile. There is, however, Makefile.in in the directory. I think I am close to getting this installed, but I am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not suppose that any of the pre compiled Linux versions (i.e. Debian, SuSe) available on CRAN mirrors would run on a Mandriva distro?
