Hi,
I'm having trouble installing R. I'm sure this is a very simple problem but
I'm stuck.  When running the ./configure script, to install R (version 1.6)
on Solaris 2.6, I get an error message at the end of the configuration
process "WARNING: f77 and cc
disagree on int and double.  configure: error: maybe change CFLAGS or
FFLAGS?" 
 However, I have seen no documentation on these flags' options syntax, and
how to find out which option I should use in my case.  Any ideas, please?
Regards,
Doug.

Have you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly (before "..../configure")?

It might be that your gcc or g77 installation was done on an
older version of Solaris, and now don't "fit" properly anymore.
