Summary: 0005176: Cannot install packages from CRAN
Description: First of all, thank you, I am enormously grateful to you for delivering this package.
However, when I attempt to install packages from CRAN, I receive a relocation error when the mirror list should appear.

Full output:
> install.packages('Rcpp')
Installing package into ‘/home/ghost/R/i386-pc-solaris2.10-library/3.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Error in url("http://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv") [^] :
  internet routines cannot be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In url("http://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv") [^] :
  unable to load shared object '/opt/csw/lib/R/modules//internet.so':
  ld.so.1: R: fatal: relocation error: file /opt/csw/lib/R/modules//internet.so: symbol accept: referenced symbol not found


I believe the issue lies in the double forward slash before 'internet.so'.
Is it something I can fix on my machines, or does the package need to be fixed? If it's a self fix, how can I do that?

Again, thank you!

The problem is that accept(3socket) from internet.so requires libsocket and libnsl which for whatever reason is not added during linkage. This will fix it for now:
  LD_PRELOAD_32=/usr/lib/libsocket.so:/usr/lib/libnsl.so LD_PRELOAD_64=/usr/lib/64/libsocket.so:/usr/lib/64/libnsl.so /opt/csw/bin/R

I'll see if I can add the flags and notify upstream.

FYI this bug blocks the integration of R from unstable to testing.

If this problem also present in the testing catalog?

I've pushed a new version of R to unstable. Does it fix the problem?

Version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10) in unstable does not present the same behavior, but instead correctly installs the packages.

This works in both 32 and 64-bit versions.

I guess this can be marked as "solved"?

Thank you very much for your help in this matter!

Yes, thank you very much for the update! The fixed version will be pushed to the testing catalog overnight.
