Hi,

I was using R on a PC running Linux, and everything was fine, but I started
to use R on my iMac running Linux PPC (Mandrake PPC 8.0), and I get some
strange problems with negative numbers that I didn't have before.
For example:

# a negative number is displayed as 0:
> -1
[1] 0

> 1/100
[1] 0.01

> -1/100
[1] 0.00

It seems to be only a problem of displaying, because:
> -1*-1
[1] 1

but in all my plots and R objects negative numbers are replaced by 0!

Any ideas?

Details:

I have compiled R1.4.0 from the tar.gz source

> version
         _
platform powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
arch powerpc
os linux-gnu
system powerpc, linux-gnu
status
major 1
minor 4.0
year 2001
month 12
day 19
language R

Thanks

Susana
