Eror message: not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0
./configure --help gives a list of configuration options. I'm not sure, but it looks like there might be a problem building bzip libraries -- not sure why. http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.pdf has Solaris building notes for Solaris, but the only mention of bzip2 in the manual seems to be under HP-UX ... you've already put /usr/ccs/bin in your path (as suggested in the manual) ... Anyone else out there have clues? Ben

You are correct. I am definitely an inexperienced, untrained beginner. I
will read the info in the link.
I did think to put /usr/ccs/bin in the Root path (I am doing this logged
in as Root).
When I typed make this time, it actually goes through a long process,
but ends with these error messages. Any speculation on these?
Thanks again.

From the R directory, after configuring successfully, try
/usr/ccs/bin/make
Do read the INSTALL manual, as BDR suggested ... that also suggests
MAKE=/usr/ccs/bin/make
$MAKE (instead of "make")
it also sounds like you're inexperienced with building software
(apologies if not true), so the INSTALL file might be written at too
high a level. You might skim
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/build_sw_on_solaris.html
good luck

Thanks, that helps some. When I search for make, it appears in a number of places: # find / -name make -print /usr/share/lib/make /usr/ccs/bin/make /usr/xpg4/bin/make /usr/local/lib/R/library/R-2.8.1/share/make /usr/local/lib/R/share/make /usr/local/lib/R-2.8.1/share/make /apps/oracle/product/10.2/inventory/make /osmrapps/make /osmrapps/make/make-3.70/make /osmrapps/make/make When I cd to the location you suggested, I get: # pwd /usr/ccs/bin # make check make: not found # ./make make: Fatal error: No arguments to build # Am I doing something wrong?

R (R 2.8.1), from cran.us.r-project.org (or your favorite mirror, see www.r-project.org) and see if that fixes the problem? Installing R on
SunOS is not quite the breeze that it is on MacOS, Windows, or Linux, but it's not that bad ... and you are much more likely to get help from the list if you make it worth people's while to help you by either (1) explaining why you are stuck with an old version [regulatory compliance/mission-critical old R software] or (2) installing recent R and showing that the problem persists.

Hello R-help, We are running R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03). I believe that I got it
