I just built the latest R-patched from source (SVN-Revision: 73548, Last
Changed Date: 2017-10-12) and the build completed without a problem but
`make check' errored out:
running code in 'reg-tests-1d.R' ...make[3]: *** [Makefile.common:100:
reg-tests-1d.Rout] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/sources/R-patched/tests'
make[2]: *** [Makefile.common:275: test-Reg] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/sources/R-patched/tests'
make[1]: *** [Makefile.common:165: test-all-basics] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/R-patched/tests'
make: *** [Makefile:239: check] Error 2
The test log reg-tests-1d.Rout.fail ends like this:
> ## PR#17186 - Sys.timezone() on some Debian-derived platforms
> (S.t <- Sys.timezone())
[1] NA
> if(is.na(S.t) || !nzchar(S.t)) stop("could not get timezone")
Error: could not get timezone
Execution halted
Is this a cause for concern and if so, what should I do? My system is
Linux From Scratch 8.1 (x86_64, linux 4.12.7, glibc 2.26, gcc 7.2.0).
Thanks,
Steve Berman

My system is > Linux From Scratch 8.1 (x86_64, linux 4.12.7, glibc 2.26, gcc 7.2.0).In the meantime I installed R and it seems to be functioning correctly. I reran the tests with `make -k check' and the above test failed again, but it was the only one. I looked at the source of Sys.timezone and on my system as currently configured (TZ is not set, there is no /etc/timezone file) this function always returns NA, so the test cannot succeed. I built and configured my system following the Linux From Scratch instructions, so (unless I made a mistake somewhere) it seems this test is irrelevant for that system. If this conclusion is correct, maybe the test can be skipped if /etc/timezone does not exist, or at least not error out. Or does that mean my system is somehow misconfigured? Steve Berman
