What you are doing is not building the recommended packages. We not
guarantee that the examples will work if you do not. (I was aware this
would happen but have not yet put in a workaround.)
*WHY* are you not building the recommended packages?

Dear list,
I just hit an error that stopped my make && make check-devel operation on my
linux box (FC3, i686 P4 2GB RAM). Just to note that I've been building the
development branch(?) for some time and this is the first hint of a problem.
1) updated the src tree using svn update
2) ran ../configure --with-recommended-package=no from my build directory
3) got:
R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
Source directory: ../src
Installation directory: /usr/local
C compiler: gcc -O3 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686
C++ compiler: g++ -O3 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686
Fortran compiler: g77 -O3 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686
Interfaces supported: X11, tcltk
External libraries: readline, BLAS(generic)
Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, iconv, MBCS, NLS
Options enabled: R profiling
Recommended packages: no
Note I've editted config.site to compile with optimisations -O3
4) did make && make check-devel and get this:
...

5) Looking at stats-Ex.Rout.fail I see this at the end:
### Name: confint

### Aliases: confint confint.default
### Keywords: models
### ** Examples
fit <- lm(100/mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + am, data=mtcars)
confint(fit)

confint(fit, "wt")

wt 0.3800887 1.622518
## from example(glm)
counts <- c(18,17,15,20,10,20,25,13,12)
outcome <- gl(3,1,9); treatment <- gl(3,3)
glm.D93 <- glm(counts ~ outcome + treatment, family=poisson())
confint(glm.D93)
Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'MASS'
Execution halted
But as there are no recommended packages this fails as indicated. So is there
something wrong with what I'm doing (i.e. something recent in the last week
has changed that I missed in NEWS) or is this a bug in the tests or examples?
Cheers
Gav
