[Rd] R 2.3.0 (alpha) on FreeBSD 6.1 fails make check-all

[Andrew Robinson]

You're welcome.  You are correct.  d-p-q-r-tests.Rout.fail
shows:

> All.eq(Rhyper,          qhyper   (Phyper, m = 40, n = 30, k = 20))
[1] "Mean scaled  difference: 0.08333333"



Let me know if/how I can further assist.

Andrew
