Hola! I had my hard disk and cpu fried, so had to reinstall debian from scratch, and now I have problems compiling R R-2.14.0. My system is wheezy with Xfce4 desktop. (-amd-64)
Ola Kjetil, you may want to consider installing the latest R from unstable by apt pinning. The respective section from the Debian README on CRAN: "DEBIAN TESTING Before R 2.12.2, when squeeze was not released yet, I proposed apt-pinning for installing up-to-date R packages from unstable (sid) on squeeze by creating a file /etc/apt/preferences containing Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 650 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 600 and adding a line for unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list. As the new testing distribution with codename wheezy is not frozen, you can remove or uncomment these entries, except if you want to have the latest R version on wheezy before it migrates from unstable to testing." Kind regards, Johannes
./configure make runs without problems, but make test dose not! Here is some of the output from make test: kjetil at kjetil:~/R/R-2.14.0$ make check make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kjetil/R/R-2.14.0/tests' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/kjetil/R/R-2.14.0/tests' make[3]: Entering directory `/home/kjetil/R/R-2.14.0/tests/Examples' initializing class and method definitions ...done Testing examples for package ?base? comparing ?base-Ex.Rout? to ?base-Ex.Rout.prev? ... 1401c1401 < "Linux" "3.0.0-1-amd64" ---
