[R] Trying to build R-1.6.2 under sparc-sun-solaris2.9.

[Rolf Turner]

This is a follow-up to a message I posted yesterday concerning
building R-1.6.2.

After a deafening silence regarding that first message I decided
to be fool-hardy and just comment out the line that seemed to
be giving trouble in the file /usr/include/sys/stream.h.

This worked for a while, but soon another error resulted:

===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===
gcc -I. -I../../../src/include -I../../../src/include  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -fPIC  -g -O2 -c Rsock.c -o Rsock.lo

Now this (Rsock.c) is actually dinky-di R code, but of course the
error has probably been induced by the previous error involving
``stream.h'' and possibly aggravated by my commenting out the
offending line in stream.h.

Has anyone out there a clue as to what is going on, and what
I might do to fix it?

Everlastingly grateful for any suggestions.
