R help - Jul 2004 - gcc on AIX is not compatile with R-1.9.1

Hi Uwe Liqqes,
   Does the successful compilation for R-1.9.1 on AIX 5.1 depend on the
IBM AIX compiler for C and C++ (xlc/xlC)? gcc on AIX is not compatible
with R1.9.1.

What about "make check"? And thereafter "make install"?

So either you don't have permission to read .../library/base/...
or compilation was not successful and the package(s) have not been
created.
Please tell us the error messages which appeared during compilation, and

try running make check, if there were no error messages....

I believe GCC will work on AIX, but you most likely need a newer version
than what you have.  I believe the R-admin manual mentioned success with
2.95.

With regard to your other question:  You can compile R w/o having any of
those.  You just won't be able to build the manuals or use the tcltk
package.  Go through the R-admin manual carefully to see how to build R
without tcltk.

Are you using g77 or IBM's Fortran?  In the past I found that gcc was not
compatible with the IBM fortran compiler, but was compatible with g77 on
AIX.
