Hi Folks,

I am trying to build R-2.11.1 from source code on Windows 2003. I am
able to build it, but when i run 'make check', it fails as follows:
Does the tests produce a log somewhere that i can use for
troubleshooting the problem ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\R\R-2.11.1\src\gnuwin32>make check

Collecting examples for package 'base'
  Extracting from parsed Rd's ........................................
Running examples in package 'base'

Collecting examples for package 'tools'
  Extracting from parsed Rd's ....
Running examples in package 'tools'

Collecting examples for package 'utils'
  Extracting from parsed Rd's .............
Running examples in package 'utils'
Error: testing 'utils' failed
Execution halted
make[3]: *** [test-Examples-Base] Error 1
make[2]: *** [test-Examples] Error 2
make[1]: *** [test-all-basics] Error 1
make: *** [check] Error 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Pooja

Yes, if you look in the R_HOME/tests directory, you'll see a 
subdirectory named Examples; that's where the logs of all the tests of 
examples are saved.  But I can guess at the problem:  you don't have the 
recommended packages installed.  They're needed to run the tests.  In 
Windows you get them by

make rsync-recommended
make recommended

Getting them in other OS's is slightly different, but I forget the 
details.  See the R Installation and Administration manual.

Thanks Duncan !!
Running 'make rsync-recommended' solved the problem.

Thanks,
Pooja
