Having:

     1.  Downloaded a fresh version of R-devel
     2.  Installed texinfo 4.8
     3.  moved my rogue /usr/local/bin/install file out of the way

R now builds and installs fine.  It looks like X11 support is still  
missing
but presumably just needs -L/usr/openwin/lib/sparcv9.  Some further
investigation is needed for png, jpeg and tctlk support, but this can  
wait
for a little while.

Thanks very much for your help.
