Dear Prof Ripley,
Thank you for your quick response!

Sorry. I took the addresses from a response to an older question that
I had received from Kurt Hornik. That message had been cc'd to both.

rsharedir =
rincludedir =
rdocdir =
(I find this is the case both on Solaris 7 and on IRIX 6.5.)

The only changes to "./configure" that I made were to set the relevant
environment variables to pick the native compilers instead of gcc, and
--prefix=/afs/bi/v/{systemtype}/apps/stats/R/2.2.1 (for literal values
of system type; sgi_65, sun4x_57).
The shell I performed "configure" under is bash 2.05, which is
admittedly old too. It hasn't caused any such problems before, though,
and I have built a very large amount of autoconfigured software for
these platforms with it.

IRIX 6.5 is current and displays the same issue.
Thank you for your help and suggestions. If there is anything I can
do to help debug the problem further, please let me know.
