[Corpora-List] Re: Installing R-2.x.y on a unix system

[Petr Šimon]

Hello Daniel,
This means that ./configure didn't manage to create Makefile. Probably you are
missing some dependencies. Check the output of ./configure and install what's missing.
You can also try to use the binary for your distribution available from
R's mirrors.
Good luck
Petr
