Hello,
I installed R on an Irix 5.3 system. Obviously the Irix libraries
don't contain functions for POSIX regular expressions.
Is it possible use the regex, or better rx libraries from GNU, and how
can I do it? Or do I have to live without functions using POSIX
regular expressions (e.g. apropos, methods)?
I have no GCC and I won't install it ...
Thanks in advance,
--

If you look in the R source tree in R/src/regex you will find a version of Henry Spencer's regular expression library. You could try compiling and installing that (you will need to modify the Makefile). Some SGI compilers have trouble with it, but it may work for you. If that doesn't work, there are a number of GNU regular expression libraries, which you can get from the usual GNU places. Install one of them and then try again. You may also want to pick up a recent version of the readline library at the same time. I'd be interested in a report if you are successful.
