[R] Install problem on Solaris 9

Tue Apr 19 17:28:19 CEST 2005

Sorry.  I posted the contents of foreign.ts.out from an attempted "make"
that included the -m64 options for the gcc, etc.  

I'm running

	./configure --prefix=/opt/net/r

My config.site contains:

    CC="gcc"
    CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
    F77="g77"
    LDFLAGS="-L/opt/net/utils/gcc3.4.1/lib/"
    CXX="g++"

Everything worked fine up until it got to the "foreign" package.

There are more but I'll stop here for now.  I assumed that this were no
big deal since I got the message 

	R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.9

when configure finished running.

Thanks.

32bit builds?
A few lines above the line "gcc -m64" suggests to check again and 
compile also with 32-bit.

Did everything before foreign work smoothly?
Which configure options have you specified?
Any errors or warnings from configure?
