This morning (my time) I downloaded:

R-1.7.0beta_latest.tar.gz        02-Apr-2003 07:04   8.8M

from CRAN U.S and received the following errors during make check:

... running code in 'arith-true.R' ... OK comparing
'arith-true.Rout' to './arith-true.Rout.save' ...71c71 <

[1]

FALSE ---

[1] TRUE

73c73 < [1] FALSE ---

[1] TRUE

make[3]: *** [arith-true.Rout] Error 1 ...


I have not yet seen other posts on this, so I am unsure if this is 
unique to RH 9 or not.  No other errors were found.

If you need more information or need me to run other code, let me 
know.

Ick! Not good. Could you try figuring out which lines differ?

diff -u $builddir/tests/arith-true.Rout.fail 
$srcdir/tests/arith-true.Rout.save

should do the trick. The line numbers from Rdiff are generated after 
removing some lines, so figuring out which are lines 71 and 73 is 
tricky, and I suspect they aren't the same as on my machine(?!).

Peter,

The following is the output of:

$ diff -u arith-true.Rout.fail arith-true.Rout.save

I see that there is a new update this morning, so if you would like me 
to download and use that new version, let me know.

Best,
