R help - Mar 2008 - coredump at the end of 'configure' and error for 'make'

Hi,

I got some errors when I attempted to build R (R-2.6.2) on my Solaris 9 box. 
Can someone please provide some suggestion on what to do next?

The "configure" process was fine expect that I got some warning and a
coredump at the end.

What does that affect?  Can I still build it?

./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/R/  --with-x=no

./configure[64111]: 10817 Segmentation Fault(coredump)


I tried to build it anyway.
When I ran "make", I got an error: "../../../bin/R: bad
substitution".  What does it mean?  Does it look like a file permission
problem?
What may go wrong here?
