Sounds like you will have to modify the path searched by the loader
for shared libraries.  Solaris tends to make this difficult because of
the weird locations for compilers and standard pieces of software.
Someone who uses Solaris more should advise you on this.  I think
these libraries are located in /opt/SUNWspro/lib but I haven't
bothered to figure out the logic of the places that Sun locates these.

These are definitely errors from perl scripts.  What is the first line
of the script /home/res8/gilp/R-versions/R-0.62.1/etc/build-help?  If
it doesn't point to a perl interpreter then these scripts are not
going to work at all.  You will have to find a way to get configure to
determine the location of the perl interpreter.
