[R] Compiling R-2.12.1 with gcc 3.4.6 on Sun Sparc Solaris 10

[Ted.H.Fong at kp.org]

Dear R-HELP,

We are compiling R-2.12.1 for 64 bits onto a Sun Sparc machine below:
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-T12

The source was compiled successfully with "gcc version 3.4.6" by using the 
default configuration and has produced R-2.12.1 in 32 bits.

Compiling R-2.12.1 for the 64 bits by configuring the config.site file as 
follow:
     CC="gcc -m64"
     F77="f77 -m64"
     CXX="g++ -m64"
     FC=$F77
     CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/sfw/include'
     LDFLAGS='-L/usr/lib/64 -L/usr/sfw/lib/64 -L/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9 
-L/usr/sfw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/sparcv9'


has produced following messages:
configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not 
available
See attached configure.out.txt file and config.site file .
 

Appreciate your help to identify the missing header/libs when compiling 
R-2.12.1 for 64 bits on the above platform ?

The R-2.11.1 compiled version from Sunfreeware download is verified to be 
32 bits.
> .Machine$sizeof.pointer
[1] 4
This should return 8 for 64 bits.

Would  there be a compiled version of R-2.12.1 64 bits available for 
download ?

Thanks
Ted Fong
