R 2.5.1 compiled, passed the make check and has been successfully
running for a couple years on a Sun Fire V490 running Solaris 9. I
need a newer version of R, but can't get a newer version of R to pass
the make check. I've tried 2.8.1, 2.7.2, 2.6.2 and 2.6.0. (2.5.1 still
passes on this server) At this point I thought I'd try to compile it
on another Sun server (Solaris 10), but it had the same problem.
Configuring with no options didn't help. I commented out the failed
test from the Makefile to see if it would pass the rest of the tests.
It passes all the rest of the tests. Here is the failure error from
make check.

Looking through the archives I did find a couple other people with
this error, both running Solaris 10. PR#10501 and PR#11738 have quite
a lot of information about this error, but I don't see any resolution
for them.
This looks like it could possibly be enough of a problem that I
haven't put 2.8.1 in production. Can you help me with a resolution or
let me know if it is safe to ignore? I'd appreciate it.
Thank you!
Karen
