[R] R configure fails on solaris: configure:12951: error: cannot compute sizeof (int), 77
i do not have access to the solaris machine on which
this error is occuring, the info is coming
to me via email.
any advice on how to get R 1.6.1 built in the face of
configure:12951: error: cannot compute sizeof (int), 77
would be appreciated.
here are some snippets from the config.log

That compiler is older than the operating system. Use a current version of gcc (2.95.4 or 3.2, not 3.2.1) *built on Solaris 2.8*, or the current SunPro compiler.
