R 2.2.1 installation trouble on SGI/Sun (PR#8575)

Dear Prof Ripley,

Thank you for the reply.  Setting these variables explicitly on the make
install line should help.
I just fixed them in Makeconf explicitly and it's OK now.

I have a guess at the shell problem.  Configure contains

if test -z ${rdocdir}; then
  rdocdir='${rhome}/doc'
fi

and maybe test -z is broken.  Does it help to add quotes as in

if test -z "${rdocdir}"; then
Yes, that's the trick.
We'll alter the script in that case.  Thanks for testing the fix.
