Berwin,
i686-pc-linux-gnu is a widely used and tested platform for R, and
we know that 1.1.0 and the latest patched version both pass `make check'
on a Debian distribution (2.2?) and RedHat 6.0 and (RedHat 6.2
with gcc-2.95.2) and various others.
This suggests that the problem is specific to your Linux installation,
so can you give us more details please?

Look at ?hsv for the interpretation. As I understand it hsv is a variant
on hsb.
