problems building on Solaris 7 (was [R] make check fails after base-Ex.R)
Following the suggestion (below), I installed gcc-2.95.2. This solved the segfault and make check hiccups. Thanks so much, Chuck Berry

Dear R-help, I tried to build the R-release version of R-1.0.0.
Do you mean the R-release version, period? There have been problems with the distribution of that.
That's what I meant.
./configure and make seemed to go just fine.

We have no problems with Solaris 2.7 aka 7, gcc 2.95.2 (never tried 2.95.1, which was current for only a very short while) built ourselves (on 2.6) and GNU or Sun make. On what version was your binary compiler distribution built? That site has 2.95.2 for Solaris 7 currently (and emacs-20.4 even though .6 is out!) I would try that for a start (although I would build my own).
Version: platform = sparc-sun-solaris2.7 arch = sparc os = solaris2.7 system = sparc, solaris2.7 status = Patched major = 1 minor = 0.0 year = 2000 month = February day = 29 language = R
This indicates the R-release distribution during a phase when it was out of date (and so actually unpatched). -- Brian D.
