Dear R-Devel, I've just tried to compile the fresh R-devel and found that the install of package Matrix failed: --------------------------------------------- ** help *** installing help indices ** building package indices ...

Have you got the Matrix package from the appropriate 2.12/recommended repository or installed via make rsync-recommended make recommended
Are those the commands that should now be used? My script is essentially doing: svn up tools/rsync-recommended make make check FORCE=FORCE Running the script now, I experience the same problem as Thomas. But I note that Thomas did not state exactly what he is compiling. My 'svn up' updates the version checked out from: https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk which I think of as R-devel. Now after the svn up the file VERSION in the source directory says: 2.13.0 Under development (unstable) The SVN-REVISION file in my build directory says: Revision: 52938 Last Changed Date: 2010-09-17 And I have Matrix_0.999375-44.tar.gz in src/library/Recommended of my source directory. As you refer to 2.12/recommended, you and Thomas might talk about different versions when talking about R-devel. Cheers, Berwin
