/home/phineas/R_HOME/R-2.0.1/bin/exec is empty when presumably it should
have the executable installed.  This may be a permissions issue
as I installed a previous version of R as root.  However this required
some gymnastics as $PATH cannot be altered for root.  Do I have a
correct version of GCC for my version of Solaris?  Any help gratefully
apreciated.
