Hola! I'm trying to make r-devel on windows XP. I downloaded an hour ago R-1.7.0beta_2003-03-30.tar.gz make terminates without any error messages, with make check I get error messages from tests of internet and socket functions, surely because my modem was not connected (It doesn't say in the documentation (file INSTALL) that internet must be connected under make check.)
Perhaps, but make check tells you: "running tests of Internet and socket functions ... expect some differences" So you have to be more explicit here ... Interesting: The httpget() part hangs on my machine. I'll look closer later this day or tomorrow...
OK. I got it. The httpget() part in .../test/internet.R of make check hung on my machine for a simple reason: A software called WebWasher 3.3 obviously blocked that connection ... Sorry for any confusion. Uwe
