[R] make check : problems?

[Agustin Lobo]

I'm the happy user of a new machine and
I'm trying to compile R-1.4.0 on it
(linux Suse 7.3 box).

After
./configure --with-gnome

I get the following configuration:

R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu

  Source directory:          .
  Installation directory:    /usr/local
  C compiler:                gcc  -mieee-fp -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -g -O2
  C++ compiler:              c++  -mieee-fp -g -O2
  FORTRAN compiler:          g77  -g -O2

  X11 support:               yes
  Gnome support:             no
  Tcl/Tk support:            no

  R profiling support:       yes
  R as a shared library:     no

configure: warning: you cannot build DVI versions of the R manuals
configure: warning: you cannot build PDF versions of the R manuals

The warnings are because:
checking for dvips...no
(same for tex,latex,makeindex,pdftex,pdflatex)
but this is not a concern now. I can do it later

Instead, I don't get gnome support despite the --with-gnome flag

And, worst, this is what I get from make check:

What's wrong? I've downloaded the tar file from two diferent mirrors
with identical results.
