[R] Installing R1.6.0 on Solaris 5.6

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

This works for me on Solaris 2.7 (and I guess you mean Solaris 2.6 aka
SunOS 5.6).  With those compilers, the .d file is almost empty.  Check
Makeconf and etc/Makeconf contain the rule

.c.d:
        @echo > $@

If they do, the problem is likely to be your make.  The R-admin manual
does say that GNU make is needed (rather than Sun make) in some
circumstances in Solaris 2.x, x < 7.  So you could try GNU make.

Unfortunately Solaris 2.6 is now a rather old version, and we can't be
expected to check on it.  My sysadmins say it is impossible to keep secure
these days.
