Thank you Dave for the reply. I used solstudio12.2, and followed the R admin installation instruction for Solaris. When I run R as the compiled result, there is a line "Platform: sparc-sun-solaris2.10 (32-bit)".

I would be nice to be able to build R with gcc though. I know the gcc compiler is inferior, but some systems don't have SunStudio. For a project like Sage, we have 100 packages, and R is the only one that needs SunStudio to build. (I'd rather build the whole of Sage with SunStudio, but there are too many GNUisms for that). So I might have to use two compilers, which is a real pain in the butt Dave ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
