R help - Oct 2012 - installation of R (14.1 and 15.1) fails: [reg-packages.Rout] Error 1

Hello,

I'm trying to install R on two Linux machines:

1.
> uname -a
Linux cs-wsok 3.4.6-2.10-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 26 09:36:26 UTC
2012 (641c197) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
2.
> uname -a
Linux csltok.swansea.ac.uk 3.4.6-2.10-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 26
09:36:26 UTC 2012 (641c197) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am trying version 14.1 on first machine and 15.1 on second machine.
On both machines I get the same test error:

1.
  comparing 'reg-tests-2.Rout' to './reg-tests-2.Rout.save' ...
OK
  running code in 'reg-examples1.R' ... OK
  running code in 'reg-examples2.R' ... OK
  running code in 'reg-packages.R' ...make[4]: *** [reg-packages.Rout]
  Error 1
  make[4]: Leaving directory
  `/home/csoliver/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/R/R-2.14.1/tests'
  make[3]: *** [test-Reg] Error 2
2.
  comparing 'reg-tests-2.Rout' to './reg-tests-2.Rout.save' ...
OK
  running code in 'reg-examples1.R' ... OK
  running code in 'reg-examples2.R' ... OK
  running code in 'reg-packages.R' ...make[4]: *** [reg-packages.Rout]
  Error 1
  make[4]: Leaving directory
  `/home/kullmann/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/R/R-2.15.1/tests'
  make[3]: *** [test-Reg] Error 2

I looked at
http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#R-Bugs
and didn't find specific suggestions about information to provide in
case of building errors. And I don't know how to get more information
about these test-errors.

Hope somebody can help.

Best regards

Oliver

sorry, I forgot: I'm using gcc and gfortran, version 4.5.4.
