Which compiler are you using? I successfully built R for Solaris on SPARC using GCC, but it took a while to get it working the first time.
The first step would be to see if you can build simple "Hello World" apps for C, C++ and Fortran in the directory in which you are going to install R. If you are unable to do this I would suggest that you build GCC from sources, and rather than use the Sun Software companion disk download the most recent versions of the various libraries and utilities from www.sunfreeware.com.

I have read the R-Admin (learned a lot!) and searched the web for days, but still fail at compiling R on my Ultra 20 running solaris 10 x86 1/06. This is the tail of './configure' output: ..... checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes checking readline/history.h usability... no checking readline/history.h presence... no checking for readline/history.h... no checking readline/readline.h usability... no checking readline/readline.h presence... no checking for readline/readline.h... no checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for main in -lncurses... no checking for main in -ltermcap... yes checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for history_truncate_file... no configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available My R-2.2.1/config.site has the following changes from default: CC="cc -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64" CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/sfw/include -I/opt/sfw/include/readline \ -I/opt/csw/include -I/opt/SUNWspro/include -I/opt/csw/include/readline F77="f95 -xarch=amd64 -xtarget=opteron" FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign" LDFLAGS=-L/opt/SUNWspro/lib/amd64/ -L/opt/sfw/lib -L/opt/csw/lib CXX="CC -xarch=amd64 -xtarget=opteron" CXXFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign" R_BROWSER=mozilla MAKE=gmake My .zshrc file has the following (as I saw that some of the LDFLAGS should match my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh): LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sfw/include:/opt/sfw/include/readline:/usr/local/lib:/u sr/X/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/ucblib:/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/etc/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/opt/SU NWspro/lib/amd64/:/opt/sfw/lib:/opt/csw/lib Readline (version 4.2 from the Sun Companion CD) is located in /opt/sfw/include/readline. Both the readline.h and history.h files are there. Version 5.0 is located in /opt/csw/include/readline (from Blastwave). As you can see, I am new at compiling in general and Solaris specifically. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
