[Adam Ding]

Dear Sir:

I was trying to compile the R download into binary on a Unix machine with
Compaq Alpha processors. The command "./configure" can not be executed
successfully however. The following are error messages said to be reported
to this email address. I do not really understand what them mean? Could
you please help me?
