Thanks so much. I am not very familiar with Unix and your suggestions helped
tremendously

this is the gcc I have:
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024

gcc is installed on /opt/sfw, and you were correct regarding LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I
have compiled and successfully installed R. here's what I did:

gmake distclean

export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sfw/lib:/opt/sfw/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.2/
./configure --prefix=$HOME/sfw/R
gmake
gmake check
gmake install

Best regards,
Vinod Rajakumar
