Dear R-devel,

I have been trying to compile R-2.0.0 on under linux, with the usual

./configure
make

I get the errors

Warning message:
package seems to be using lazy loading already in: 
makeLazyLoading("tools")
Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable 
".install_package_description" was not found
Execution halted

This same configuration of linux successfully installed and runs R-1.9.1.

Any suggestions for where to look for problems? I noticed that someone 
experienced similar problem under Windows.

thanks,

Clayton

Hi. I get exactly the same error when installing R v2.0.0 on Sun Solaris 9
(also as root). R has been installing perfectly fine since at least R v1.4.1
on the same machine. Unfortunately, I haven't got around to troubleshoot
much, but now I at least know that it's not just our Sun Solaris system that
is the problem.

Regards,

Henrik Bengtsson
