R help - May 2002 - need help building R on SGI

I'm trying to build R-1.5.0 on an SGI.  I downloaded the tar file
just a couple of hours ago.  These are the various variables I set
before configuring, and the arguments to configure I'm using:

export R_PAPERSIZE=letter
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/dfs/src/readline
export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/common/lib -L/usr/lib32 -L/usr/dfs/src/readline'
export CONFIG_SHELL=/v/bin/sh SHELL=/v/bin/sh
./configure --enable-R-shlib --prefix=/usr/common/R-1.5.0 

And this where configure dies:

checking for readline/readline.h... yes
checking rpc/rpc.h usability... yes
checking rpc/rpc.h presence... yes
checking for rpc/rpc.h... yes
Segmentation fault

Here are the final lines of config.log, though they don't seem to 
reveal anything more:

configure: failed program was:
#line 11610 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <readline/history.h>

configure:11620: $? = 0
configure:11638: result: yes
configure:11656: checking for rpc/rpc.h
configure:11663: result: yes


Is there more information I need to provide?  Does this give
anybody any ideas?

Thanks,
Debby

I think I've got it.  Luke Tierney suggested that it might
be my shell that's seg-faulting, and maybe it was.  I had to
specify a different shell for R-1.3.0 because /bin/sh on
our machines isn't a Bourne shell, and that made problems for
me.  But that was then, and this is now, and /bin/sh works
fine.

I could build R-1.5.0 without problems with the SGI compilers (and tcsh)
and readline from the standard SGI-freeware distribution:

setenv CC cc
setenv F77 f77
setenv CCC CC
setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/freeware/lib32 -rpath /usr/freeware/lib32'
setenv CPPFLAGS -I/usr/freeware/include
./configure 
make
