Problem with R using pgi compiler on x86_64

I don't see anything in there that asks for a shared library to be 
built.  Please check R_HOME/etc/Makeconf: I believe you need

SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS = -shared
(and I checked, and I do see that in the PGI section of the R-admin 
manual: so plese check your other settings too).

(BTW, googling shows

and the same answer.)

Hi,

we have installed R-2.8.1 using the current pgi compiler (8.0.2) for 
AMD64 on a SLES9 system.

When I try to install "Matrix" everything is fine until the last step.

Other modules worked and could be compiled without any problems.

Any idea ??
