I did do that before posting; the choice seemed to be between R-help
("intended to be comprehensible to people who want to use R to solve
problems but who are not necessarily interested in or knowledgeable
about programming") and R-devel ("for questions and discussion about R
development and programming").  Obviously I need to install R before I
can use it, and in my case I had to build it before I could install it,
and running the tests is recommended, and that's where the issue arose;
I couldn't tell if this was due to a bug in R or something on my end,
i.e., I needed help, so that's why I asked here.  If you think R-devel
is the right address, I'll ask there.
