R help - Jun 2002 - Output from make check

These are probably very basic questions, but I don't know how one
reads output such as this:

[hrapgc at biomat1 R-1.5.1]$ make check
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests'
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests/Examples'
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests/Examples'
make[4]: `Makedeps' is up to date.
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests/Examples'
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests/Examples'
running code in 'base-Ex.R' ...make[4]: *** [base-Ex.Rout] Error 1

make[3]: *** [test-Examples] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests/Examples'
make[2]: *** [test-Examples] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hrapgc/local/R-1.5.1/tests'
make: *** [check] Error 2
[hrapgc at biomat1 R-1.5.1]$ 

Just what do Error 1 and Error 2 refer to?  

And does it make sense that certain directories were "entered" twice
in succession?

Thanks

Return codes from programs called by your make.  In this case the first is
forced by the line

	@$(R) < $< > $@ || (mv $@ $@.fail && exit 1)

so the command has return code 1.

Yes.  Note that this reflects spawning new copies of make with different
targets.  I have only ever seen GNU make give this output, and it's rather
misleading.  It means `starting/ending a make run in directory foo'.


You need to look at the file base-Ex.Rout.fail to see the actual problem,
