problem with make on sparc solaris 8 ( R-1.6.0beta_2002-09-18.tar.gz)

Gardar Johannesson 
This is something that I have not seen in earlier beta versions of 1.6.0:

   ts.plot                           text    html    latex   example
   ts.union                          text    html    latex   example
   tsSmooth                          text    html    latex
   tsdiag                            text    html    latex   example
R_LIBS= ../../../bin/R CMD INSTALL
ERROR: no packages specified

That is, the recommened packages are not installed.

I traced this down to the solaris version of make (gmake works fine).

I think the solaris version has problem with the "_tgz" suffixes!

and I'm using the follwing modification to config.site (which I have 
used on a regular basis in the past).

CC="cc"
CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"

F77="f95"
FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"

CXX="CC"
CXXFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"

and I'm using the solaris make program...
