installation problems

Hi,

I installed R-2.4.0 and R-2.4.1 on linux redhat (RHEL 3.0), and am
encountering the following messages below. I searched the R FAQs and over
the net, but couldn't find helpful information.

When I "check-all" I do see some diff's (e.g., for "stats", nls.Rout and
nls.Rout.save in tests/stats.Rcheck/tests; "cluster"; and "rpart'). I don't
know if this is relevant.

I have no problem with R-2.0.1, which I installed 1 1/2 years ago, and the
Windows  version.  But I would like to use the recent versions.

I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
