[R] Error when compiling R-2.5.1 / *** [d-p-q-r-tests.Rout] Fehler 1

[Joerg Kirschner]

Hi everyone,
I am new to Linux and R - but I managed to build R-2.5.1 from source to use
it in Genepattern. Genepattern does only support R-2.5.1 which I could not
find anywhere for installation via apt-get or in the Ubuntu Software-Centre
(I am using Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) 32-bit)

But after doing

make check


I get

comparing 'method-dispatch.Rout' to './method-dispatch.Rout.save' ... OK
running code in 'd-p-q-r-tests.R' ...make[3]: *** [d-p-q-r-tests.Rout]

but I can make install and use R for simple plots etc. afterwards - still I
am worried something is wrong, can you give some advice.

A closer look at the error gives

> ## PR#7099 : pf() with large df1 or df2:
> nu <- 2^seq(25,34, 0.5)
> y <- 1e9*(pf(1,1,nu) - 0.68268949)
> stopifnot(All.eq(pf(1,1,Inf), 0.68268949213708596),
+           diff(y) > 0, # i.e. pf(1,1, *) is monotone increasing
+           All.eq(y [1], -5.07420372386491),
+           All.eq(y[19],  2.12300110824515))
Error: All.eq(y[1], -5.07420372386491) is not TRUE
Execution halted


As I understand so far some errors are critical some are not - can you
please give some advice on the error above? Can I still use R installed
with that error? What do I need to solve the error?

Thanks, Joerg
