[R-sig-Debian] Problems compiling R

[Kjetil brinchmann Halvorsen]

Hola!

I had my hard disk and cpu fried, so had to reinstall debian from
scratch, and now I have problems compiling R
R-2.14.0. My system is wheezy with Xfce4 desktop.  (-amd-64)

./configure
make

runs without problems, but make test dose not!

Here is some of the output from make test:
