Subject: R 1.6.0 beta
References: <x2ptvlub4i.fsf@biostat.ku.dk>
Message-ID: <3D7E44CD.8080601@stat.ohio-state.edu>

I just downloaded R-1.6.0beta_2002-09-10.tar.gz and configured on:

uname -m = sun4u
uname -r = 5.8
uname -s = SunOS
uname -v = Generic_108528-12

resulting in (did not change any defaults):

   Source directory:          .
   Installation directory:    /usr/local
   C compiler:                gcc  -g -O2
   C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2
   Fortran compiler:          g77  -g -O2

   X11 support:               yes
   Gnome support:             no
   Tcl/Tk support:            no
   Readline support:          no

   R profiling support:       yes
   R as a shared library:     no


where gcc is version 2.95.3 (f77 is version 0.5.25).  It compiles fine, 
but make fullcheck stops at:

running code in 'ts-Ex.R' ... OK
running code in 'survival-Ex.R' ...bash: survival-Ex.R: No such file or 
directory
mv: cannot access survival-Ex.Rout
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `survival-Ex.Rout'
Current working directory /home/gardar/local/src/R-1.6.0/tests/Examples
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test-Recommended-Examples'
Current working directory /home/gardar/local/src/R-1.6.0/tests/Examples
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test-Recommended-Examples'
Current working directory /home/gardar/local/src/R-1.6.0/tests
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `fullcheck'


There is no survival-Ex.R file in ./tests/Examples !!!  The survival 
library is fine...
