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

[Roger Peng]

Is it possible that something has changed in your system setup since the
last install?  The problem below seems to be that SOCKLEN_T is not
defined, which is why (I think) you get the error

> Rsock.c:378: `len' undeclared (first use in this function)

If I remember correctly, your configure gave warnings about not being able
to determine the length of a socket, which is defined in some header
files on your system somewhere (sorry, I don't use Solaris).  I'd check to
make sure these are being included or that their in the place R thinks
they are.
