R 2.5.1 compiled, passed the make check and has been successfully
running for a couple years on a Sun Fire V490 running Solaris 9. I
need a newer version of R, but can't get a newer version of R to pass
the make check. I've tried 2.8.1, 2.7.2, 2.6.2 and 2.6.0. (2.5.1 still
passes on this server) At this point I thought I'd try to compile it
on another Sun server (Solaris 10), but it had the same problem.
Configuring with no options didn't help. I commented out the failed
test from the Makefile to see if it would pass the rest of the tests.
It passes all the rest of the tests. Here is the failure error from
make check.

Looking through the archives I did find a couple other people with

a lot of information about this error, but I don't see any resolution
for them.
This looks like it could possibly be enough of a problem that I
haven't put 2.8.1 in production. Can you help me with a resolution or
let me know if it is safe to ignore? I'd appreciate it.
Thank you!

[Rd] [R] make check reg-tests-1.R error on solaris
Do you have a ZFS file system? That seems to be the common factor where people have actually told us. However, other Solaris 9/10/OpenSolaris systems work, as you will see from the R-admin manual. We cannot help with errors we cannot reproduce: rather we need someone with the problem to help us. Such questions are far more apporpriate to the R-devel list: see the posting guide. So I have diverted this there.
