When running make for R-1.4.1 on Solaris 8, SPARC 64 bit the following error
message is generated:

arithmetic.c:672: #error code requires that int have 32 bits
gmake[3]: *** [arithmetic.o] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/R/R-1.4.1/src/main'
gmake[2]: *** [R] Error 2

***Related code in arithemtic.c file:

667  #ifndef INT_32_BITS
   668  /* configure checks whehter int is 32 bits.  If not this code will
   669     need to be rewritten.  Since 32 bit ints are pretty much universal,
   670     we can worry about writing alternate code when the need arises.
   671     To be safe, we signal a compiler error if int is not 32 bits. */
   672  # error code requires that int have 32 bits
   673  #else
   674  /* Just to be on the safe side, configure ought to check that the
   675     mashine uses two's complement. A define like
   676  #define USES_TWOS_COMPLEMENT (~0 == (unsigned) -1)
   677     might work, but at least one compiler (CodeWarrior 6) chokes on it.
   678     So for now just assume it is true.

10871  if test "${ac_cv_sizeof_int}" = 4; then
10872    cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF
10873  #define INT_32_BITS 1
10874  EOF
10875
10876  fi
10877  if test "${cross_compiling}" = yes; then
10878    warn_xcompile_sizeof_long="assuming C longs are 4 byte on ${host}"
10879    echo "configure: warning: ${warn_xcompile_sizeof_long}" 1>&2
10880  fi

*********
Solution:
*********
Run ./configure
Ignore warnings
in R-1.4.1/ directory create a file confdefs.h and enter (*see related configure
file)
#define INT_32_BITS 1
Run make
run make install
