Here's how I build R on Solaris.  

#!/bin/sh
#srcdir=$S/R-devel-sfi-1999-02-07
srcdir=$S/R-devel
ldflags="-L$P/data/hdf5/lib"
FC="/opt/egcs/bin/g77 $ldflags" LDFLAGS=$ldflags CC=/opt/egcs/bin/gcc 
CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/src/mgd/packages/data/hdf5/include -I/opt/gnu/include" 
$srcdir/configure --prefix=/opt/src/mgd/packages/data/R --srcdir=$srcdir
make 

For the hdf5.h problem, the fix in your case would be
"CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure".

The SFI version provides the HDF5 features.  I've just been informed
that these patches are now installed in the development version...
