R extra package problem.

loderunner 
Hi there,
After a little work i got R2.10.0 to compile on my solaris 10 64 bit
computers.

However the extra packages dont seem to install when i run:
install.packages(CRAN.packages()[,1])

Also at the tail end of the make there was an error that stated it could not
compile certain recommended packages:

writing package indices
begin installing recommended package boot
ERROR: cannot extract package from ?boot.tgz?
*** Error code 1
The following command caused the error:
MAKE="make" R_LIBS= ../../../bin/R CMD INSTALL --no-lock -l
"../../../library" boot.tgz > boot.ts.out 2>&1 || (cat boot.ts.out && exit
1)
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `boot.ts'
Current working directory /inst/pkg-arch/R-2.10.0/src/library/Recommended
*** Error code 1
The following command caused the error:
make stamp-recommended
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `recommended-packages'
Current working directory /inst/pkg-arch/R-2.10.0/src/library/Recommended
*** Error code 1
The following command caused the error:
(cd src/library/Recommended && make)
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `stamp-recommended'


Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
