I download and unpack R, run ./Configure from the R directory. Configure
fails.The last line on the Configure script prints is 'Checking for Fortran
77 name-mangling scheme', This output and the config.log files are

gcc 3.2.2 has a fatal bug for compiling R on Solaris, so the first thing
you need is a less buggy C compiler. Preferably the Sun C/F9x compilers,
but failing that gcc 3.2 will do.
You don't appear to have a working Fortran compiler installed, as
config.log says at the end (before the symbols)
configure:15266: error: cannot compile a simple Fortran program
See `config.log' for more details.
It's found something called fc, which does not work. If you have really
installed gcc 3.2.2, the build went wrong and g77 did not get installed.
