R help - Mar 1998 - R-beta: Problems during compilation of R for Solaris 2.6

Hello,
I am inexperienced in C program compilation and I receive the following
error during the compilation of R (version 0.61.2) for Solaris 2.6.
I have installed the gcc 2.8.0 version.

Could anyone suggest me something,

I have this problem under SunOS.  It seems that there is something wrong
with your system's version of the readline library.  You can either get a
new version (from any GNU archive) or build R without readline support.
This disables the nice command-line editing features, but you can get them
back by running R under emacs using ESS (see the R FAQ for details).

You can disable readline support by removing the line
   #define HAVE_LIBREADLINE 1
from src/include/Platform.h

(In theory you should be able to just do 
	configure --without-readline
 but this hasn't been implemented)
