R help - May 2007 - Make check failure for R-2.4.1

I'm trying to install R-2.4.1, everything configure's and make's OK,
but the
make check fails:

running code in 'd-p-q-r-tests.R' ...make[3]: *** [d-p-q-r-tests.Rout]
Error
1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/install/R-2.4.1/tests'
make[2]: *** [test-Specific] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/install/R-2.4.1/tests'
make[1]: *** [test-all-basics] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/install/R-2.4.1/tests'
make: *** [check] Error 2

This is Debian, gcc 2.95.4. My previous version R-2.1.0 installed ok.

Any idea why this is failing? I have googled the errors, but couldn't find
any resolutions

Thanks for any help

Adam

Some of these test are expected from time to time, since they are using 
random numbers. Just re-run. BTW: We do have R-2.5.0 these days.
