[R] R Installation problem: 'make check' errors

[Fritz Roth]

Hi All,

I'm trying to install R from source on an Intel machine running Linux 
(RedHat 6.2) and I am getting errors (Error 139, Error 2, and Error 1) on 
'make check'.  Perhaps I've forgotten something basic?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what I've done:
/configure --prefix=/home1/froth/R --enable-R-shlib --with-tcltk --with-x
make
make clean
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The output from 'make clean' is as follows:
[froth at lama R-1.3.1]$ make check
make[1]: Entering directory `/home1/froth/R/src/R-1.3.1/tests'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home1/froth/R/src/R-1.3.1/tests'

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
