[R] Make check failure for R-2.4.1

[Adam Witney]

I'm trying to install R-2.4.1, everything configure's and make's OK, but the
make check fails:

running code in 'd-p-q-r-tests.R' ...make[3]: *** [d-p-q-r-tests.Rout] Error
1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/install/R-2.4.1/tests'
make[2]: *** [test-Specific] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/install/R-2.4.1/tests'
make[1]: *** [test-all-basics] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/install/R-2.4.1/tests'
make: *** [check] Error 2

This is Debian, gcc 2.95.4. My previous version R-2.1.0 installed ok.

Any idea why this is failing? I have googled the errors, but couldn't find
any resolutions

Thanks for any help

Adam
