[R] Unable to configure R 2.2.1 on Solaris 5.10 x86_64

Hello,

Apologies for the post here. I have read the R-Admin (learned
a lot!) and searched the web for days, but still fail at compiling R on
my Ultra 20 running solaris 10 x86 1/06. 

This is the tail of './configure' output:
.....
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking readline/history.h usability... no
checking readline/history.h presence... no
checking for readline/history.h... no
checking readline/readline.h usability... no
checking readline/readline.h presence... no
checking for readline/readline.h... no
checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no
checking for main in -lncurses... no
checking for main in -ltermcap... yes
checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no
checking for history_truncate_file... no
configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are
not available 

My R-2.2.1/config.site has the following changes from default:

CC="cc -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64"
CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/sfw/include -I/opt/sfw/include/readline \
-I/opt/csw/include -I/opt/SUNWspro/include -I/opt/csw/include/readline
F77="f95 -xarch=amd64 -xtarget=opteron"
FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/SUNWspro/lib/amd64/ -L/opt/sfw/lib -L/opt/csw/lib
CXX="CC -xarch=amd64 -xtarget=opteron"
CXXFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
R_BROWSER=mozilla
MAKE=gmake

My .zshrc file has the following (as I saw that some of the LDFLAGS
should match my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh):

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sfw/include:/opt/sfw/include/readline:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/ucblib:/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/etc/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/opt/SUNWspro/lib/amd64/:/opt/sfw/lib:/opt/csw/lib

Readline (version 4.2 from the Sun Companion CD) is located
in /opt/sfw/include/readline. Both the readline.h and history.h files
are there. Version 5.0 is located in /opt/csw/include/readline (from
Blastwave). As you can see, I am new at compiling in general and
Solaris specifically. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

System information:

System = SunOS
Release = 5.10
KernelID = Generic_118844-26
Machine = i86pc
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 1

thanks,

aric

Have we not seen such posts before from you?  Perhaps you need to seek or 
employ a local Solaris guru (if they exist at `mac.com', or whatever your 
real but unstated affiliation is).

The information about what is going wrong is in the file config.log, so 
please study it.

But as it is not finding your readline headers, they appear not to be 
where you are saying to look. You certainly should not be having 
/foo/include/readline in your cpp path, just /foo/include since the 
headers looked for are of the form <readline/history.h>.

You do not want include paths in the library path.

[R] Unable to configure R 2.2.1 on Solaris 5.10 x86_64

Which compiler are you using?

I successfully built R for Solaris on SPARC using GCC, but it took a while
to get it working the first time.

The first step would be to see if you can build simple "Hello World"
apps
for C, C++ and Fortran in the directory in which you are going to install R.

If you are unable to do this I would suggest that you build GCC from
sources, and rather than use the Sun Software companion disk download the
most recent versions of the various libraries and utilities from
www.sunfreeware.com.

Hello,

Apologies for the post here. I have read the R-Admin (learned
a lot!) and searched the web for days, but still fail at compiling R on
my Ultra 20 running solaris 10 x86 1/06.

This is the tail of './configure' output:
.....
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking readline/history.h usability... no
checking readline/history.h presence... no
checking for readline/history.h... no
checking readline/readline.h usability... no

checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no

checking for main in -ltermcap... yes
checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no
checking for history_truncate_file... no
configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are
not available

My R-2.2.1/config.site has the following changes from default:

CC="cc -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64"
CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/sfw/include -I/opt/sfw/include/readline \

CXX="CC -xarch=amd64 -xtarget=opteron"
CXXFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
R_BROWSER=mozilla

My .zshrc file has the following (as I saw that some of the LDFLAGS
should match my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh):

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sfw/include:/opt/sfw/include/readline:/usr/local/lib:/u
sr/X/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/ucblib:/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/etc/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/opt/SU

Readline (version 4.2 from the Sun Companion CD) is located
in /opt/sfw/include/readline. Both the readline.h and history.h files
are there. Version 5.0 is located in /opt/csw/include/readline (from
Blastwave). As you can see, I am new at compiling in general and
