Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here, but I'm still seeing the: help2man: can't get `--version' info from ../bin/R
error message here. and the make; make; make install workaround doesn't seem to be working for me. I don't know if this is due to incompatible versions of perl, but I've tried 5.8.6 and 5.8.8 to no avail. This is on MacOS X 10.4.6/PPC from the latest SVN sources (37777), building in a separate directory.
