Whatever '/home/paul/Mybin/gtar' is, it is not a tar unpacker so you
will need to specify the TAR environment variable when you configure
R.
'gtar' is very commonly GNU tar (it is on Fedora Linux for example and
on most third-party toolsets for e.g. Solaris and AIX). It is an
unwise choice of name for a personal script.
