R help - Sep 2005 - make check FAILS -> Error code 1...comparing d-p-q-r-tests.Rout

The problem is a known one and solved in R 2.1.1-patched.  On your OS the 
result is not as accurate as most, but the tolerance set was too tight so 
the test failure is not something to worry about.

Please install R-patched instead, as it has many bug fixes in place.

Under FreeBSD 5.3, attempting to properly install R-2.1.1, I get the
following response when I.....

% make		;all finishes without error, then...

% make check <ret>

< [1] mean relative difference 1.2848649e-08
  [1] TRUE
.....Error code 1

stop in ~R/R-2.1.1/tests

I assume a computed value is out of bounds regarding a predetermined
range of accuracy. Not being a statistician nor programmer, how might I
fix this, please ?

Appreciatively,
