The INSTALL.in script in src/scripts has this at line 620:
if ! test -f "${R_INCLUDE_DIR}/R.h" ; then
That fails to run under sh on Solaris (itis OK in bash, which is why it runs OK
on Linux).
The correct sh syntax is:
if test ! -f "${R_INCLUDE_DIR}/R.h" ; then
i.e. test understands that ! means not, but the if statement in sh doesn't.
The result of this is that you get error messages tryign to install extensions
on Solaris.
