R compilation problem on 64 bit SunOS (PR#13898)
You are reporting a Solaris error to R-bugs. If the Solaris libintl.h is broken (and it seems yours is), then you need to try one that works (e.g. OpenCSW) or force the use of the one in the R sources by --with-included-gettext use the GNU gettext library included here or dlsable NLS (see below). Please don't use R-bugs for things that are not R problems.

Full_Name: Uwe F. Mayer Version: 2.9.1 OS: SunOS myhost 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris Submission from: (NULL) (216.113.168.130) With the change of the NLS handling from 2.9.0 to 2.9.1 the compilation breaks, even as I do specifically not request nls.
In fact you did not specifically not request nls: use the flag from the gcc specs below to do so (as someone did for gcc).
Specifics:
gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

The last compilation step throwing the error:

from ../../../../src/R-2.9.1/src/unix/system.c:36:

The contents of /usr/include/libintl.h, line62:
extern char *ngettext(const char *, const char *, unsigned long int);
The same error happens to several other files (datetime.c, main.c, platform.c
util.c), all of which with the exception of the last one have not even changed
since 2.9.0. I compiled 2.9.0. in a parallel tree, copied the corresponding .o
files over, and got the resulting version to run.
