[R] Problem with the installation of "install R" on Sun Solaris

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You are missing 'ranlib': take a closer look at the output from 
configure (and the posting guide).

My guess is that either /usr/ccs/bin is not in your path or you don't have 
the tools installed to build applications.  This is not an R issue, and 
you need to seek local Solaris help.
