As I told Anton a bit earlier, upstream changed the method of building the dvi manuals (yet again), and I missed this during the update. This should only affect users who build math/R with the (non-default) option WITH_DVI_MANUALS. I hope to fix this soon. In the meantime, you can disable this option, build and install R, and either read the manuals in info format, or build them manually, or grab them from: http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html b.
