Problem testing R version 1.3.1 (PR#1143)

   I have compiled R version 1.3.1 on a Linux system.

...
Which one? In particular, which compiler version?

   Redhat6.2 with:

gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)

Unfortunately, the output is buffered so that one on catastrophic
error will lose the last bit. It might be more informative if you ran the
command directly, without the redirection to base-Ex.Rout.

  Good point.  The error at the end is now:

=====

##--- An example for the use of  `asp' :
library(mva)
data(eurodist)
loc <- cmdscale(eurodist)

Segmentation fault
=====

No,
but since you're on Linux you can find much more yourself :
Run R inside the debugger:

   Yes, thanks.  strace also showed a SIGSEGV on loading lapack.so, but
gdb gives a little more info.
