Problem in installing R add-on package(not from CRAN)

Hi all,

I downloaded a R package (supclust, not from CRAN) in my directory, then type:

markov:/home/pingzhao> R CMD INSTALL supclust_1.1.tar.gz -l ~/lib

but met the following errors

* Installing *source* package 'supclust' ...
** libs
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/SHLIB: make: not found
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'supclust'


Does it mean the R has not properly installed? what are problems here???

Thanks,

Pingzhao

You don't have the required build tools, in this case make.

Did you build R on that machine, or was a pre-built binary installed?

It's saying that the "make" command was not found.  You need standard
development tools to install source packages.
