I have once seen this when a disc became full.

Hi all,

I'm trying to build R-1.8.1 from source on Linux and getting the
following error when the makefile gets to the step of building the help
for 'nlme':

Has anyone else encountered this?

I've had no difficulties compiling previous versions of R on this
machine.


Thanks,
