No rule to make target all.R, needed by compiler.rdb building R 3.4.1 from source, Scientific Linux release 6.9 (Carbon)

Hello,

Thanks again. I have checked the configure step, the only messages I get containing pcre are:

checking for pcre_fullinfo in -lpcre... yes
checking pcre.h usability... yes
checking pcre.h presence... yes
checking for pcre.h... yes
checking pcre/pcre.h usability... no
checking pcre/pcre.h presence... no
checking for pcre/pcre.h... no
checking if PCRE version >= 8.20, < 10.0 and has UTF-8 support... yes
checking if PCRE version >= 8.32... yes
checking whether PCRE support suffices... yes


The final status from the command:

I haven't seen the JIT message but will give a try at the glibc-devel:


Here is the whole log from the configure command

This is the error. Your PCRE is being built with SUPPORT_JIT undefined.

You should see some warning during the configure phase for PCRE that says "JIT support requires pthreads" or something like that. You should get that from glibc-devel.
