[R] make check on Solaris 8 fails due to plot

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

Dear all,

I am having trouble trying to install R-1.8.1 on a Sun Solaris 8
(Generic_108528-23 version) machine. The configuration was successful but
make check fails. I traced the the problem to the plot() function.

    jpeg      png    tcltk      X11    GNOME     libz http/ftp  sockets
    TRUE    FALSE     TRUE     TRUE    FALSE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE
  libxml     fifo   cledit  IEEE754    bzip2     PCRE
    TRUE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE
> plot( 1:10 )
Bus Error

and R terminates to the shell prompt. I have searched the archives with no
success. Can anyone kindly help me fix the problem or at least show me how
to get more information about the error.

Thank you.
