What compiler system is this? And what settings were used? We are not seeing such a problem on Solaris 10 (neither Sparc nor x86_64) with the Sun Studio 11 compilers they shipped with (a month or two ago).
Note that the error message is not to do with subject line: it is launching R and /export/home/gordonp/Desktop/R-alpha/lib/libRlapack.so that has the problem. I don't think that configure can be expected to know about all possible systems on which R might be built, which is why we allow users to set variables such as FLIBS and MAIN_LD. We do try to document the settings needed for known systems in the R-admin manual, and that includes all the Solaris systems we have encountered or seen reports from.
