Try R CMD check: that tests most things. (Actually, please try it on your
own submissions too, as the recent sgeostat and tripack both fail.)  There
is also a test suite provided in rpart.

To F. Tusell:
This is not my C code, and seems to have lots of long = int assumptions.
Try defining long to be int in rpart.h.

There is a new version of rpart on which I am working on an R port.
I have changed lots of longs to ints there.
