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.
