I am trying to compile R-2.1.1 on Solaris10, with the Studio10 compilers. When I try to compile 64bit with CFLAGS="-xarch=amd64" export CFLAGS I get a configure failure on checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for history_truncate_file... no configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available unset CFLAGS and its fine will compile 32bit. Any ideas gratefully received. I should say I installed the readline headers etc /usr/local
So, your readline is probably not 64-bit: see the R-admin manual and check in config.log.
a configure with --without-readline but with CFLAGS="-xarch=amd64" goes on to checking for dummy main to link with Fortran libraries... none checking for Fortran name-mangling scheme... unknown configure: WARNING: unknown Fortran name-mangling scheme checking whether f77 appends underscores to external names... unknown configure: error: cannot use Fortran Again this is the studio10 fortran.
Please note you need to set FFLAGS to match. If you consult the R-admin manual you will see that sparc users need somewhat different settings: please emulate those.
