I'm testing a FC5 machine for use in a student lab. R 2.3.1 is installed and seems to work fine. There is one peculiarity - the logins are authenticating to a server, and a "verbose" flag is set somewhere, leading to lots of spurious messages like this
request done: ld 0xa227598 msgid 1 which may be confusing R. However, R CMD check seems to fail for packages with no dependencies at the dependencies check stage. I've tried this with two packages, my own gld and also zipfR. Both fail in the same way. [Desktop]$ R CMD check zipfR_0.6-0.tar.gz * checking for working latex ... OK request done: ld 0x8dfb170 msgid 1 request done: ld 0x8dfb170 msgid 2 * using log directory '/home/rak776/Desktop/zipfR.Rcheck' * using Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) * checking for file 'zipfR/DESCRIPTION' ...
