Leslea,
Turns out I did this just last week ...
It is imperative that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable have
the Sun compilers. I have attached my config.site file -- which has
the optimization levels turned up pretty high (4 out of 5) for both
the cc and f90 compilers. For whatever reason, I left the c++ optimization
at 2 ...
We have a lot of the GNU libraries (readline -- which is necessary for
the command-line editing/history to be operational, and makeinfo -- which
is necessary to create the manuals in both "info" and .html ... ) as well
as some of the other necessary libraries (netCDF) in a separate area
called /contrib/[lib,include] , so the config.site file reflects this.
For us, this is also where I installed R ... /contrib/R-1.3.0/bin/R is
slinked to /contrib/bin/R and /contrib/bin is in everyones PATH.
The exact sequence I used was:
./configure --prefix=/contrib/R-1.3.0 --enable-R-profiling --with-readline --with-x --cache-file=/dev/null
make
make install
make install-dvi
make install-pdf
because our version of makeinfo is out-of-date, I did not make the info versions
of the manuals, nor the html version. The problem is, the html versions are featured
prominently in the help.start() widget.
By specifying cache-file=/dev/null you are guaranteed to actually use the current
config.site, not the config.cache version ...
Good luck,
Tim

Hello,
I am trying to compile R using the Sun WorkShop 6.0 (Forte) compilers.
I don't think I am having a problem with the compilers, but instead with
figuring out how to modify the R configuration to use non-Gnu compilers.
I found in your documentation that one should modify the config.site
file
to change compilers, compiler flags, library paths, etc. I made
modifications
in this file, but the configure script still seems to be relying on the
Gnu
compilers rather than the compilers I've specified. It picks up my
changes
to the fortran compiler (using f77 instead of g77), but ignores my
specification
of the cc compiler rather than gcc. Since I couldn't use config.site to
fix
my problem, I configured with whatever the configure script was giving
me,
and then went into the Makeconf file to change compiler, library paths,
and
other flags. I have made some progress in compiling (i.e. when I run
gmake I am getting the right compilers, paths, and flags), but my build
is
failing at a certain point.
Do you know of anyone who has compiled R with the Solaris WorkShop 6.0
(Forte) compilers? Pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I am attaching my config.site file, and the output from running
configure
(config.out). Additionally, I am attaching the output from running gmake
(make.out).
Thanks,
Leslea J. Lehoucq
