The problem is likely the Sun Studio compiler. 'Nobody here' uses that
anymore, and even CRAN / Oxford which tests on Solaris (x86,sparc) uses gcc
per the tests page:

We are doing things in C++ which are standard now, but for which Sun Studio
does not seem to have caught up.

Maybe you need to look into installing the gcc toolchain.

Maybe another list reader has a better idea but I fear that is all we can say
here.

Greetings,  Dirk
