Thanks for reply.
Yes, I have tried this, although I had to remove the "-xc99" flag from
the CC environment variable. When used as shown in the installation
manual, the compile fails:
In file included from regex.c:107:
/usr/include/stdbool.h:42:2: #error "Use of <stdbool.h> is valid only in
a c99 compilation environment."
*** Error code 1
The following command caused the error:
cpp -M -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2
-I../../src/extra/pcre -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H regex.c > regex.d
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `regex.d'
Current working directory /apps/local/src/R-2.6.1/src/main
*** Error code 1
By removing the "-xc99" flag and setting the others options as specified
in the installation manual, the R package builds completely, but the
"foreign" package continues to crash when I attempt to load it - all
of the other packages that I have tried seem to work just fine. I
suspect that since those that have built with GCC are not reporting
any trouble, it would be difficult to point a finger at the "foreign"
code and claim that this is a bug, but yet, I am not having any trouble
with any of the other packages that have been built using Sun Studio 12.
Here are the latest "configure" options that I have tried (as
specified in the manual, minus the "-xc99" flag):
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R-2.6.1

CFLAGS="-O -xlibmieee"

> library(foreign)

I have recently applied several patches for Sun Studio 12. I am
tempted to try Sun Studio 11 to see if there is any difference.
I guess the other alternative would be to grab the R package from
"www.sunfreeware.com". However, most of the 3rd-party packages
on my system have been built with Sun Studio 12 - was just hoping
to be able to do the same with R. I was also curious if anyone
else is using the latest (patched) Sun Studio 12 set of compilers
on Sun Solaris 10 (sparc) and had any luck. I am running out of
different complier flags to try. I have tried several different
flags and most times, the R packages will build, but everytime
that I attempt to load "foreign", it crashes. Again, all of the
other R packages that I have tried seem to be fine - I am simply
running into trouble with "foreign" which I believe is needed for
me to install the "maptools" package.
All the best.
