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)

./configure
make

runs without problems, but make test dose not!

Here is some of the output from make test:

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
