beta build problem
2 messages · Paul Gilbert, Brian Ripley
Whatever '/home/paul/Mybin/gtar' is, it is not a tar unpacker so you will need to specify the TAR environment variable when you configure R. 'gtar' is very commonly GNU tar (it is on Fedora Linux for example and on most third-party toolsets for e.g. Solaris and AIX). It is an unwise choice of name for a personal script.
