Correct.

I don't think R is available pre-compiled for Solaris 9.

There is a console along the same lines as Rgui available for Unix 
versions of R -- see `GNOME' in the `R Installation and Administration 
Manual'.  (Note that it is broken under R-2.0.0 but does work under the 
R-patched versions available via CRAN.  It has at some time in the past 
been run on Solaris, but note what the manual says about its status.)

That is nonsense, of course: R has frequently been installed on Solaris 9.
