Are those the commands that should now be used?  My script is
essentially doing:

	svn up
	tools/rsync-recommended
	make 
	make check FORCE=FORCE

Running the script now, I experience the same problem as Thomas.  But I
note that Thomas did not state exactly what he is compiling.  My 'svn
up' updates the version checked out from:
	https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk
which I think of as R-devel.   
Now after the svn up the file VERSION in the source directory says:
	2.13.0 Under development (unstable)
The SVN-REVISION file in my build directory says:
	Revision: 52938
	Last Changed Date: 2010-09-17
And I have Matrix_0.999375-44.tar.gz in src/library/Recommended of my
source directory.

As you refer to 2.12/recommended, you and Thomas might talk about
different versions when talking about R-devel.

Cheers,
