Problem's installing R9C-0

[Raimo Niskanen]

What kind of machine are you installing on?

It seems as the configure script (using the autoconf macro 
AC_CHECK_SIZEOF) cannot determine the size of neither of "short, int, 
long, void *, long long, size_t, off_t". This means that it somehow 
failed to compile and run a little test program that prints 
"sizeof(TYPE)" to a temporary file and parse the result.

Very strange. This is a standard configure script macro, they usually 
perform well.
