I have a problem to install the GRASS_0.1-4.tar.gz on RedHat7.1 Linux. The gmake5 is missing. But I am not quite sure what it is? Is it a gnu version of MAKE? I could not locate it on my system and I do not know what is really meant.
The GRASS package for interfacing R with the GRASS geographical information system needs GRASS's libraries and header files, and installing the package starts by trying to find out if GRASS is installed on your system and where it is. The gmake5 script is part of the GRASS 5 distribution, and not finding it suggests that - as the message says - it either isn't there at all, or not on your path. In addition, the version of GRASS on CRAN is 0.1-8. As the README file says, version 0.1-4 will only work with R < 1.2.0 anyway, so a more recent version might be a good idea. It is also possible, as the README says, to give INSTALL the configure argument --configure-args=--interp to drop the compiled interface. Roger
I get the following message: ---------------------------------------------------- bash-2.04$ R CMD INSTALL -l /home/uleopold/lib/R/library/ GRASS_0.1-4.tar.gz Installing *source* package `GRASS' ... Your gmake5 is not on your current PATH. Either add the directory it is in to your PATH, or run "R INSTALL --configure-args=--gmake5=/.../gmake5 GRASS" giving the fully qualified path to and name of your gmake5. To install the interpreted interface, use: "R INSTALL --configure-args=--interp GRASS" ERROR: configuration failed for package `GRASS' ---------------------------------------------------- Thanks.
