I tried a build of R with gcc 4.0.2 on Solaris x86, but whilst it built ok, it did fail a test. Next I tried to build R with the Sun compiler, configuring as: $ ./configure CC=cc -xc99 CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/csw/include CFLAGS=-O - xlibmieee F77=f95 FFLAGS=-O4 CXX=CC CXXFLAGS=-O FC=f95 FCFLAGS= LDFLAGS=-L/opt/csw/lib SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS=-G -lCstd R would not build, generating an odd error message: cc -xc99 -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2 -I../../src/ extra/pcre -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I/opt/csw/ include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O -xlibmieee -c saveload.c -o saveload.o "saveload.c", [RemakeNextSEXP]:ube: error: Assert has been violated at '/set/mars_patch/builds.intel-S2/nightly.Fri/intel-S2/lang/ube/opt/src/ cfg.c 9201'. cc: ube failed for saveload.c I think this is a compiler bug. There are certainly reports of this on other software, and Sun have released a patch just over a month ago 126498-06 which is supposed to correct this. Since Solaris Express does not support patches (its the 'leading edge' stuff), so I can't apply the patch officially. But given I had little to lose, I copied the files manually. But it did not cure the problem. I can't actually build R 2.7.0 on Solaris x86 and get it to work - gcc builds R, but R fails a test, Forte does not build R at all, but I think this is a compiler error. I suspect if I played with the flags I might get it to work, but I have not tried that.
