Running R-3.2.1 RC on Yosemite 10.10.3 Mavericks version

Result of sessionInfo():

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):

and issuing the command

help.search(?linear models?) 

works perfectly ok.
On the page http://r.research.att.com: for R-3.2-branch  the R 3.2.1 RC did not fail make.
The development version of R failed.
And my R 3.2.1 of a few days ago has no problem with the help.search() function.

We seem to be talking past each other. The failure I am seeing for 3.2.0 is in the R.app sessions. Not seeing error in a Terminal session.

This is what I see (today) at the att.research site:
============
R-devel
3.2.1 RC
(2015/06/10, r68509)	mavericks	Jun 14 00:39	x86_64: make FAILED  (log)
Package: OK

R-devel-mavericks-sa-x86_64.tar.gz (59Mb)

R-devel-mavericks-signed.pkg (69Mb, installer incl. GUI)
=============

The failure I described for version 3.2.1 RC  was the GUI that was failing to launch which I thought might be related to the att.research note "x86_64: make FAILED (log)", but this line from the log link following the notation FAILED:
