make check reg-tests-1.R error on solaris
Do you have a ZFS file system? That seems to be the common factor where people have actually told us. However, other Solaris 9/10/OpenSolaris systems work, as you will see from the R-admin manual. We cannot help with errors we cannot reproduce: rather we need someone with the problem to help us. Such questions are far more apporpriate to the R-devel list: see the posting guide. So I have diverted this there.

R 2.5.1 compiled, passed the make check and has been successfully running for a couple years on a Sun Fire V490 running Solaris 9. I need a newer version of R, but can't get a newer version of R to pass the make check. I've tried 2.8.1, 2.7.2, 2.6.2 and 2.6.0. (2.5.1 still passes on this server) At this point I thought I'd try to compile it on another Sun server (Solaris 10), but it had the same problem. Configuring with no options didn't help. I commented out the failed test from the Makefile to see if it would pass the rest of the tests. It passes all the rest of the tests. Here is the failure error from make check. make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.1/tests' running regression tests make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.1/tests' running code in 'reg-tests-1.R' ...make[3]: *** [reg-tests-1.Rout] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.1/tests' make[2]: *** [test-Reg] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.1/tests' make[1]: *** [test-all-basics] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.1/tests' make: *** [check] Error 2 bash-2.05# Here is output from reg-tests-1.Rout.fail.

Looking through the archives I did find a couple other people with this
error, both running Solaris 10. PR#10501 and PR#11738 have quite a lot of
information about this error, but I don't see any resolution for them.
This looks like it could possibly be enough of a problem that I haven't put
2.8.1 in production. Can you help me with a resolution or let me know if it
is safe to ignore? I'd appreciate it.
Thank you!
Karen
