Problem installing MCMCpack on SPARC Solaris 10
There are lots of problems with MCMCpack's C++: the only way (short of a major rewrite) that you will get it to compile on Solaris is to use g++ (and even that needs corrections). The maintainers seem deaf to reports of the issues. And please note what the posting guide says about where to send questions about non-R programming issues.
