Let me firstly thank the R Core Team for their tremendous efforts in providing R 1.8.0. My following comment should therefore be
understood as an
"fyi-only". I source compiled R 1.8.0 for windows with ATLAS (source
compiled, too).
Everything works fine and R is running flawlessly! However,
running "make
check" stops during processing "internet.R". I checked the "internet.Rout.Save" and found the following two temptative
"culprits":
1)
try(zz <- url("http://foo.bar", "r"))
unable to resolve 'foo.bar'.
Error in url("http://foo.bar", "r") : unable to open connection
and further down in the file:
2)
try(finger("root")) ## only works if your site provides a
finger daemon
Error in make.socket(host, port) : Socket not established
That does not stop the ckecks. Both errors are expected (therefore the try() around the lines!). Uwe Ligges
Hello Uwe, thks for your quick response. That is what I thought, too. I investigated the "internet.Rout.fail": . . .
## check graceful failure:
try(zz <- url("http://foo.bar", "r"))
Error in url("http://foo.bar", "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
cannot open: HTTP status was `500 Can't resolve DNS name'
the last two lines do differ from "internet.Rout.save" . . . and your are right about 2). It seems that the culprit rather is:
read.table("ftp://ftp.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/datasets/csb/ch11b.dat")
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection Execution halted but, that's not an issue for R, rather an issue about Win NT setup, I guess. Thks, again Bernhard
which stopped the "make check". Everything else was
exectuted correctly in
the "internet.R" file. Because R 1.8.0 is running fine and no other obstacles occured during compilation (recommended packages
and all docs, as
well) I ignored this error. Thks again for your tremendous efforts and provision of
this release!
