I'm trying to install R-2.0.1 on Solaris 9 and I'm receiving the
following error messages during make.
 
    begin installing recommended package foreign
    make[2]: *** [foreign.ts] Error 1
    make[2]: Leaving directory
`/opt/net/source/R-2.0.1/src/library/Recommended'
    make[1]: *** [recommended-packages] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory
`/opt/net/source/R-2.0.1/src/library/Recommended'
    make: *** [stamp-recommended] Error 2

 
A review of src/library/Recommended/foreign.ts.out shows:
 
    * Installing *source* package 'foreign' ...
    configure: loading cache /dev/null
    checking for gcc... make[3]: Entering directory

    gcc -m64
    make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R.INSTALL.169/foreign'
    checking for C compiler default output file name... configure:
error: C compiler cannot create executables
    See `config.log' for more details.
    ERROR: configuration failed for package 'foreign'

 
A review of config.log does not reveal anything terribly useful.
 
I'm using gcc, g77, and g++ v3.4.1, 32 bit builds (I think), all
installed under /opt/net/utils/gcc3.4.1, which is in the path.
 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/otherstuff:/opt/net/utils/gcc3.4.1/lib:/opt/net/utils/l
ib:/otherstuff
 
My config.site contains:

    CC="gcc"
    CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
    F77="g77"
    LDFLAGS="-L/opt/net/utils/gcc3.4.1/lib/"
    CXX="g++"
 
 
What should I be looking for here?
 
Thanks.
