'make install' fails on Solaris (PR#13946)

Interesting. None of my paths have ':' in them.

make install without --enable-R-static-lib works fine.

                 The sed lines in src/unix/Makefile
                 confuse the grep distributed with
                 Solaris
                 that gets configured by ./configure.


           Well, it calls sed not grep!  Which version was that
           -- it works for me and for several others.  I have
           SED =3D /usr/xpg4/bin/sed (see file Makeconf), and
           that is 'distributed with Solaris': perhaps you do
           not have it installed?

           The danger of changing R to fix a broken OS tool is
           that the change may break on other people's tools --
           better to fix the tool.



Is this a tool problem at all? The most common reason for separator
breakage is that one of the substitution strings contains the
separator.

E.g., the sed line may break if  @rhome contains a colon, and after
the fix it will break if it contains a comma...



           Switching from a separator of ':' to a
           separator of ',' fixes the problem.
