Thank you. I found the problem. For some reason there was a zero-length file with the name of 'r' in the bin directory. When I removed this the build worked fine. I still don't know why this file caused a problem but I am happy with the solution. Kevin

I did a 'make clean' followed by a rebuild and got the same error. I recopied the source (overwritting the existing files) followed by a 'make clean' and 'make all recommended' and received the same error. I am really lost. It must be something in my environment but I don't know how to track it down. Kevin ---- rkevinburton at charter.net wrote:
I have sucessfully built and run R from source and I have begun to change some of the source files to help with my learning process. All of a sudden I recieved the following error on build: building package 'stats' all.R is unchanged building package 'datasets' all.R is unchanged ../../../library/datasets/R/datasets is unchanged building package 'methods' all.R is unchanged make[3]: Nothing to be done for `RfilesLazy'. building package 'grid' all.R is unchanged building package 'splines' all.R is unchanged building package 'stats4' all.R is unchanged make[3]: Nothing to be done for `Rfiles'. building package 'tcltk' all.R is unchanged ../../bin/R: not found make[1]: *** [R] Error 127 make: *** [all] Error 2 I have just changed MkRules and some of the Fortran source files. I have not changed any of the Makefiles so I am not sure where this error is coming from or how best to trace the root of the problem. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge on the 'R' source structure and build process could help me out with a little advice here. If have tried the '-d' option but that is entirely too much debug information for me to digest. I just need to know where '../../bin/R' is needed and why it is not found. Thank you. Kevin
