Command:
configure --prefix=/sw/sun4_55/R-0.64.1a --exec-prefix=/sw/sun4_55/R-0.64.1a 
--with-x --with-g77 [--with-f2c]

Output (without and without f2c-Option):
R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1

  Source directory:         .
  Installation directory:   /sw/sun4_55/R-0.64.1a
  C compiler:               gcc -g -O2
  FORTRAN compiler:         g77 
  Gnome support:            no

Then I just type 'make' (using GNU-Make 3.76.1) and get the error messages 
descriped above...
