[R] Installing On Solaris

[Prof Brian Ripley]

On Solaris ar is in /usr/ccs/bin: do you have that in your path? It
contains other tools needed to compile/build programs. (I suspect one can
install Solaris without those tools.)

Where did you get gcc from?  For the version on www.sunfreeware.com you
need binutils too (see the R-admin manual).  (BTW 2.95 looks strange:
3.2.3 is current, but some people still use 2.95.3, but not 2.95.)
