The AIX build of the development version isn't quite working due to a problem in the automatic symbol extraction process. Compilation of R itself goes fine, but then in the script tools/ldAIX4 doesn't extract the symbols from arithmetic.o. This is because bash-2.01$ nm arithmetic.o nm: arithmetic.o: 0654-206 Cannot process the symbol table. As a result, R_finite is not exported and the vfonts module cannot be built. If the necessary symbols are added by hand to etc/R.exp then the rest of the build proceeds normally. Compiling arithmetic.c doesn't produce any errors (gcc) and the symbol table problem doesn't seem to happen for any other object file. Any ideas? -thomas Thomas Lumley Asst.

Which nm is that, the native one or from GNU binutils? -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
