I am trying to compile R for Solaris 2.6 and am having problems. I understand from the INSTALL file that I am not the first to struggle with this and that the problem probably relates to the version of make (or gmake) that I have. Unfortunately, I don't know a) how to check which version I have or b) where to find other versions. Can anyone help?

You currently need GNU make, though this requirement should eventually go away. Sun make doesn't work. If you have a Sun system you may have GNU make available as "gmake". GNU make identifies itself with the -v or --version flag wompom% gmake -v GNU Make version 3.74, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

If you don't have GNU make you can get precompiled binaries that install it /usr/local (so you need the system administrators cooperation) from http://sun.freeware.com/ You can get the source code from any GNU mirror site and compile it yourself.
