Hi,


On Windows, with last R-devel tarball (r40647) from
  ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/R-devel_2007-02-04.tar.gz
I get the following build error:

This was fixed in SVN within a few hours.  Tarballs are snapshots, please 
check SVN before reporting problems.

As I have said several times, please do not expect R-devel to build on all 
platforms at all times.

Quoting Prof Brian Ripley <ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk>:
Thanks! I will check SVN before reporting problems with a tarball.
Just hope that nobody will get too upset if I'm reporting a problem
that just got fixed during the time I did 'svn up' and 'Send Message'
though ;-)
Of course. But please, let us know if reporting problems when they occur
is still the right thing to do or not.

Thanks,
H.

It's often a good idea to check 24-48 hours later and then report.
Autobuilders are running on about that frequency.
