[R] Compiling R-1.5.0 failed on Solaris 5.8

[Haifeng (Kevin) Xie]

Earlier I posted a message regarding an error encountered when compiling
R-1.5.0. It turned out that it was due to (or it seems to be) the name of the a
library libbz2.so.1.0 appears differently in our system (don't know why). I
managed to work around it by making a local copy of the file, rename it and -L
to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It seems to do the trick, R-1.5.0 compilied without
complaining :-)

My sincere thanks to Uwe Ligges who gave me a big hint.

Best regards,

Kevin
