Execution halted
which makes clear that your platform has a broken implementation of
strptime. That's not an R bug, and no platform that anyone bothered to
alpha or beta test failed that test ....
You may want to undefine HAVE_WORKING_STRPTIME in src/include/config.h and
build again -- it is possible that will work around this.
I trust that you will now file (in the right place) a more careful bug
report on the HP-UX error you have discovered.

The crucial information is in tests/reg-tests-1.Rout.fail, at the bottom (I expect). Please do tell us what the failure was and we may be able to help. Note that I have removed the bug repository from the followup: I don't see any evidence of an R bug here as yet. On Tue, 20 Apr 2004 P.S.Hatton@bham.ac.uk wrote:
Hi, On behalf of one of our users, I installed R 1.8.1 on HP-UX11.0 by compiling the source using the gnu compilers and all was fine with make check On 1.9.0, I get an error from 'make check' when running reg-tests-1.R which gives error exit code 1. Commands used are: ./configure --prefix=/apps/global/Gnu_R/R-1.9.0 --with-x R_BROWSER=mozilla (all on one line, of course) make make check I tried to get it to make with the HP-UX cc, aCC and f90 but couldn't get it to make (make came back with numerous unresolved symbols such as dtrsl), so I'm just using the gnu compilers. I guess that setting the loader search path would get round this, but for now at least the gnu compilers will be good enough. Any advice appreciated. Thanks
