R devel - Sep 2007 - Incomplete library linking for grDevices.so on Solaris (PR#9910)

Submission from: (NULL) (136.159.169.6)


When compiling R 2.6.1 (alpha 2007-09-13), grDevices.so fails to link properly
because of a missing symbol __vlog_.  This symbol is defined in libmvec.so, but
no -lmvec is add by the configure script.  Manually adding -lmvec to the linking
command allows grDevices to compile.  The error output of the make command (for
a 64-bit version of R) is given below:

cc -G -m64 -L/lib/64 -L/usr/lib/64 -L/usr/local/lib/64 -L/usr/ucblib/sparcv9
