This is on a SL 4 machine It's failling at the very very last because cp: cannot stat `doc/manual/R-exts.pdf': No such file or directory I can change the spec file and comment out %doc doc/manual/R-exts.pdf But since it actually builds on SL 5, I'm wondering if you would know of a better way, or where that file comes from.
