[Rd] Solaris build problem

[Prof Brian Ripley]

At one level the answer is easy: cxxPack was not installed at system 
level when that check was run, and I presume it was installed on the 
other build systems.

However, the vignette checker should be able to find the package from 
the copy installed for checking, soI need to dig deeper to find out 
why that did not happen.
