Hi Folks,
I am trying to build R-2.11.1 from source code on Windows 2003. I am

Does the tests produce a log somewhere that i can use for
troubleshooting the problem ?

Yes, if you look in the R_HOME/tests directory, you'll see a
subdirectory named Examples; that's where the logs of all the tests of
examples are saved. But I can guess at the problem: you don't have the
recommended packages installed. They're needed to run the tests. In
Windows you get them by
make rsync-recommended
make recommended
Getting them in other OS's is slightly different, but I forget the
details. See the R Installation and Administration manual.
