[R] installation question/problem

Hello,

Can anybody tell me why I am getting the error below when I run "make 
check" and if it has any consequences I may regret later?

I run:

#  ./configure --enable-R-shlib
# make
# make check
# make install


configure, make and make install all work without errors, and it seems 
to install ok, and I even test the R binary after install, so I guess 
it's working. But I want to make sure. I'm not going to be using R, but 
I'm the net admin who has been tasked with installing it our servers, so 
I don't want any nasty surprises.

I wonder if it's possible that I'm missing libraries because I'm not 
running X on the servers?

This is:
FreeBSD 5.4 p8
R-2.2.1


make check output:
