[R] Are sockets supported on Irix?

[Setzer.Woodrow@epamail.epa.gov]

When I try to open a server socket on the system setup listed below, I get
the following error:

> a <- make.socket(port=8091,server=TRUE)
Error in make.socket(port = 8091, server = TRUE) :
        sockets are not available on this system

I just wanted to make sure that sockets were generally available for this
platform (or, perhaps, I need to upgrade to 1.2.2 on this system), before I
got our generally overworked system administrators to look into the problem
here.  Thanks.
