[R] R compilation error on Solaris

[Saunak Sen]

Hello...

I tried to compile an R addon package, R/qtl on a Solaris machine and
I get this error.  I know that R/qtl complies correctly on other
platforms (Windows, Mac, Linuxes, etc), so I am wondering what the
problem might be. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Saunak
