I've successfully compiled R 1.3.0 on SGI (info below) but it fails make
check.  From base-Ex.Rout:

Error in if (to <= from) stop("`to' must be later than `from'") :
        missing value where logical needed
Execution halted

Indeed, from the same binary:

[1] "NA"

[1] "1999-01-01 07:00:00 EST"

Does anyone have any ideas?

1) Could you tell Debby Swayne how you got this to compile (see R-help)?

2) I suspect strptime on your machine is broken.  Sorry ....

You probably have a problem in the substrate that ISOdate feeds on.

Offhand, I'd suspect an overrun problem. Some systems that represent
time as seconds since 1970 get in trouble in 2038, wouldn't they also
get in trouble from going more than 68 years backwards in time from
1970. Does it work if you replace 1901 with - say - 1910?

To see if the rest checks out, you could comment out that example in
the sources.
