RE: Issue in Config.guess - in system powerpc64le

[Kumar, Awanish]

Hi,

I am trying to install a package called RPostgreSQL inside analytical tool 
called R. This package help R analytical tool to connect database in 
PostgreSQL. There are different way to install it and path is already defined 
where package will be installed.

$ R
> install.packages("RPostgreSQL", repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org', 
> dependencies=TRUE)
##it will install taking file from cloud.

> install.packages("/home/forecash/cash_forecast/RPostgreSQL_0.6-2.tar.gz", 
> repos = NULL, type="source")
##taking data from downloaded Binary file

Or from shell
$R CMD INSTALL RPostgreSQL_0.6-2.tar.gz
##it means installing from binary file.

----Here is message I am getting----------------------------------------

This script, last modified 2011-10-19, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (src/config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <address@hidden> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2011-10-19

-------------------------------------------------End----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The biggest question is from which location it is taking timestamp of 2011, we 
are not able to find this.

Thanks

You will need to ass the providers of the files.  I am unfamiliar with "R CMD 
INSTALL" but based on your command line it appears that it is using the files 
as packaged in RPostgreSQL_0.6-2.tar.gz and I would assume that is where the 
files need to be replaced.
