[Rd] Installing R-1.1.0 (PR#612)

[berwin@maths.uwa.edu.au]

Dear R-developers,

I finally got around to install R 1.1.0 but had problems at the `make
check' stage.

After compiling the released R 1.1.0 version the `make check' stage
stopped while checking the examples in base.  There was some problem
with the quantile function and the check stopped complaining that NA's
are not allowed.

But I assume that this problem is already known because `make check'
passed this point after I applied the latest patches and recompiled
R.  However `make check' still chokes on base and on mva.  The last
lines in base-Ex.Rout are:

> x <- 0:15
> size <- (1:20)/4
> persp(x,size, dnb <- outer(x,size,function(x,s)dnbinom(x,s, pr= 0.4)),
+       xlab = "x", ylab = "s", zlab="density", theta = 150)
> title(tit <- "negative binomial density(x,s, pr = 0.4)  vs.  x & s")
> 
> image  (x,size, log10(dnb), main= paste("log [",tit,"]"))
Error in hsv(h, s, v, gamma) : invalid HSV color
Execution halted

And the last lines in mva-Ex.Rout are:

> prcomp(USArrests, scale = TRUE)

> plot(prcomp(USArrests))

Any idea how I could get around this problem?  I presume that this
problem has to do with the number of available colors?  (For me, HSV
means "Hamburger Sport Verein", a German soccer club ;-)) ). 

Cheers,
