Solaris -R check fails

[Bob Friesenhahn]

I reported this bug several months ago, but it is not yet fixed in
CVS.  The problem is that the test which checks if "-R/something" or
"-R /something" is preferred fails.  The end result is that programs
which depend on libraries which exist in /usr/openwin/lib are not
linked into /usr/lib fail to run.  In some cases this causes the
configure script to fail completely.

The exact error message looks like:

checking for X... libraries /usr/openwin/lib, headers  /usr/openwin/include
checking whether -R must be followed by a space... cat: cannot open conftest.c
cat: cannot open conftest.c
neither works

Will someone who understands how this stuff works please fix this bug?

Thanks,

Bob
