Dear all, I have been following the instructions on
http://cran.stat.sfu.ca/with the intention to install R with 64 bits
support on an 8 core Intel Mac
with 6 GB of memory. I am doing this so I can run an analysis that requires
1.6 gB of memory allocation and would not run on 32 bit version of R as I
was advised and experienced.
I have installed gcc 4.2 and gfortran 4.2 from the available sources on the
web page and am using the copy and paste guide on the page.

Now everything seems to be going fine until the point where the R packages
are tested. In particular when the regression tests are run I get the
following.

running regression tests
running code in 'reg-tests-1.R' ...\c
 OK
running code in 'reg-tests-2.R' ...\c
 OK
comparing 'reg-tests-2.Rout' to './reg-tests-2.Rout.save' ...\c

make[3]: *** [reg-tests-2.Rout] Error 1
make[2]: *** [test-Reg] Error 2
make[1]: *** [test-all-basics] Error 1
make: *** [check] Error 2

Would any of you be able to point me to what is the reason for this?
thanks,
georgios
