[R] need help building R on SGI

[Deborah Swayne]

I'm trying to build R-1.5.0 on an SGI.  I downloaded the tar file
just a couple of hours ago.  These are the various variables I set
before configuring, and the arguments to configure I'm using:

export R_PAPERSIZE=letter
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/dfs/src/readline
export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/common/lib -L/usr/lib32 -L/usr/dfs/src/readline'
export CONFIG_SHELL=/v/bin/sh SHELL=/v/bin/sh
./configure --enable-R-shlib --prefix=/usr/common/R-1.5.0 

And this where configure dies:

checking for readline/readline.h... yes
checking rpc/rpc.h usability... yes
checking rpc/rpc.h presence... yes
checking for rpc/rpc.h... yes
Segmentation fault

Here are the final lines of config.log, though they don't seem to 
reveal anything more:

configure: failed program was:
#line 11610 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <readline/history.h>

configure:11620: $? = 0
configure:11638: result: yes
configure:11656: checking for rpc/rpc.h
configure:11663: result: yes


Is there more information I need to provide?  Does this give
anybody any ideas?

Thanks,
Debby
