Subject: [Rd] errors compiling R-2.0.0
In-Reply-To: <OF3C384766.2D205EC9-ON85256F3A.006DACC2-85256F3A.006F4B69@EU.novartis.net>

Hi. I get exactly the same error when installing R v2.0.0 on Sun Solaris 9
(also as root). R has been installing perfectly fine since at least R v1.4.1
on the same machine. Unfortunately, I haven't got around to troubleshoot
much, but now I at least know that it's not just our Sun Solaris system that
is the problem.

Regards,

Henrik Bengtsson
