configure file?

Hi. I am trying to install R on Mac OS X (BSD Unix). In the manual that came with the R package, it says the first step in compiling it is to enter "./configure". When I do this (in the R/lib/R/bin directory), I get the message "./configure: Command not found". I have looked for a "configure" file and also for "configure.in", but I have not found them. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks, Rob Hoy
I am not particularly aware of the specificity of the Mac OS X port of R, but I've been compiling it on linux, IRIX and OSF... and for none of these system I had to be in the directory R/lib/R/bin. You certainly have to be at the root of the freshly uncompressed and untared R. Are you really willing to compile R, or rather only install it ? In the later case, you may want to install an already compiled version (available for your OS)... check at http://cran.r-project.org/ Regards, Laurent
