I do not really know what any of this means but when I got a graph and no
explicit errors returned I just wnet ahead with using the installation. I
have not encountered anything wrong while using is so unless there is
something you can tell from the above, I guess I will just continue to use
the current installation.

Many thanks.

I only thought one was missing since it kept giving me error that it
wasn't
set. But all seems to working OK so I guess I don't need to create
anything.

You can find out what at least some of these things mean by reading
the help file.  On your prior run the first two gave a response of 1
which, as the help file explains in the Value section, means they
failed.

On this one it seems the tests did not match the target because they
were tested on a different version of R than the tests were prepared
for.

I suggest you just forget about these tests. I don't think there is
anything wrong with your installation.

By the way, the most recent version of R is R-2.15.2 and you might
want to use that.
