I've spent the past couple of months trying to install R-1.6.2 on my Sunblade 100 running SunOS 5.9, so I am getting desparate. I tried the gcc 3.2 compiler, but I understand this is still a bit buggy. So I downloaded an evaluation copy of Sun Forte Developer 7 compiler and ran the configure script. I've piped the configure command output to www.phineas.blueyonder.co.uk/config.out where there is an <Fortran name mangling scheme error> and the config.log output is at www.phineas.blueyonder.co.uk/config.log. The complier will build c executables but I have not tried compiling either C++ or Fortan code. I've installed readline.3.. I will do anything it takes to R working.
