Other roadblocks I've encountered (and the reason I cc: r-devel): -- ld/cc doesn't automatically include /usr/local/lib while gcc does. This comes from the sytem installation here and has nothing to do with R. But having to add LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib may come as a surprise to people who don't do this regularly. Does configure check for the existence of e.g. libz.a with cc or gcc?
This is a common problem, and if libz is shared, building may work but running may not (as you need /usr/local/lib in the shared library path). BTW, recent gcc's (e.g. 2.95.2) seem to include prefix/lib not /usr/local/lib which may come as even more of a surprise. On Solaris 2.6 I need CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib" when using gcc 2.95.2, installed in /ext/gcc-2.95.2, and I always need the second to cope with /usr/local/lib/libz.so.
