Hi,

I got some errors when I attempted to build R on my Solaris 9 box.  Can someone please provide some suggestion on what to do next?
The "configure" process was fine expect that I got a some warning message and a coredump at the end.
What does that affect?  Can I still build it?

./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/R/  --with-x=no

configure: WARNING: you cannot build the object documentation system

./configure[64111]: 10817 Segmentation Fault(coredump)


I tried to build it anyway.
When I ran "make", I got an error.  
What may go wrong here?
