A strange thing happened. After installing the most recent RC version of 2.7 (2008-04-20 r45403) I compiled it as usual with no errors. After installing it I ran "make fullcheck". I got as far as testing recommended packages and I got the following:
... -------- Testing package foreign -------- Running examples in 'foreign-Ex.R' ... Comparing `foreign-Ex.Rout' to `foreign-Ex.Rout.prev' ...OK Running specific tests Running `S3.R' Comparing `S3.Rout' to `S3.Rout.save' ...OK Running `arff.R' Comparing `arff.Rout' to `arff.Rout.save' ...OK Running `minitab.R' Comparing `minitab.Rout' to `minitab.Rout.save' ...OK Running `octave.R' Comparing `octave.Rout' to `octave.Rout.save' ...OK Running `sas.R' make[2]: *** [sas.Rout] Error 1 make[1]: *** [tests] Error 2 make: *** [pkgcheck-foreign] Error 2 This also happens when I just run "make check-recommended". The thing is that if I start-up the just installed version of R, change directory to R-rc/src/library/foreign/tests and source the sas.R script, everything works fine. Also when I do Rcmd.exe BATCH sas.R things seem to be normal, i.e., I just get the prompt back after a short while. I am on Windows XP professional SP2. My machine is a core-duo Xeon workstation.
