R help - May 2004 - e1071, R1.9.0, Solaris 2.9, should I be worried?

In R 1.9.0 running under Solaris 2.9 on a SunBlade 100,
with "Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 2001/05/15" as the
C++ compiler, I just did
> install.packages("e1071")
The output includes these lines, which I have wrapped to fit nicely in mail:

How worried should I be?
I guess the "Warning: x hides Solver::x" warnings related to a
deliberate
style choice, but what about the "String literal converted to char*"
ones?

Hi
How are you ?
Did you get any answer regarding "String literal converted to char*" ?

Thanks.

Thanks and regards,

as the message says, things like

info("Exceeds max_iter in multiclass_prob\n");

and the info() accepts char * as parameter
