[Rd] compiling Rcpp with 3.0.1 on Solaris 10

[romain at r-enthusiasts.com]

Hello,

Rcpp has its own mailing list (Rcpp-devel, see 
http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel).

We lack man power for solaris, and typically we realize there are 
issues when it is too late.
If you can help, that would be huge help. To compile Rcpp, you can do:

$ svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/rcpp/pkg/Rcpp
$ R CMD INSTALL Rcpp

or

$ R CMD build Rcpp
$ R CMD INSTALL Rcpp_*.tar.gz

If you can suggest us a few fixes related to your findings, then we can 
attempt to fix them and get a better solaris support. I already see a 
few items below that are worth looking at.

Best regards,

Romain
