Install problem on Solaris 9

# 
Sorry.  I posted the contents of foreign.ts.out from an attempted "make"
that included the -m64 options for the gcc, etc.  

I'm running

	./configure --prefix=/opt/net/r

My config.site contains:

    CC="gcc"
    CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
    F77="g77"
    LDFLAGS="-L/opt/net/utils/gcc3.4.1/lib/"
    CXX="g++"

Everything worked fine up until it got to the "foreign" package.

There are more but I'll stop here for now.  I assumed that this were no
big deal since I got the message 

	R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.9

when configure finished running.

Thanks.

Rusty

32bit builds?
A few lines above the line "gcc -m64" suggests to check again and 
compile also with 32-bit.

Did everything before foreign work smoothly?
Which configure options have you specified?
Any errors or warnings from configure?

We haven't see the one that actually failed, as yet.  Please start again 
from scratch, keep careful records and send us the foreign.ts that 
actually failed.

It is difficult enough to debug remotely without being given the wrong 
information.

We do know that if the instructions in R-admin are followed accurately, it 
does work for several people.

            

      
      
      
    

        
Which config.log?  Almost certainly not.
