[R] Problem installing R onto Solaris 2.10 system - need advice!!!!!

[Prof Brian Ripley]

It seems you are using f90, but FLIBS was computed using g77.  That would 
mean that something has been altered since R was configured, or that the 
way the Fortran compiler was specified was incorrect.

I think you need to start again and make use of only one set of compilers.
