You need to use
1) GNU make (see the DESCRIPTION file).
2) the compiler used to install R. Finding cc as /usr/ucb/cc indicates a
likely path error: the current Sun C compiler is likely to be somewhere
like /opt/SUNWspro/bin . If you did not install R, ask the person who did
for the commands used.

INSTALL to use 'gcc' or something else that works?
