This does work, and is covered in the R-admin manual. Surely you did check there, so your comments surprise me. First, look at config.log for any hints. Second, check you can actually compile and run a simple Fortran program. My guess is that your SunPro Fortran installation is incomplete, something we have seen a couple of times. It is possible that you need to use f95 to interwork with SunPro cc, and you do to use libsunperf, for example. -- Brian D.
