R devel - Apr 2005 - HP-UX and IRIX recent builds? Any other rare platforms?

I am revising the section in R-admin on platforms.  When I asked about 
locales earlier this year I got no reply about HP-UX and IRIX, so I will 
presume that no one has built R on those OSes recently.  If you have, 
please send me the OS number and the flags you used.

Platforms where I have seen recent reports:

Linux
MacOS X
Solaris 8, 9, 10   (any Solaris 7 users please let me know)
AIX 5.1 and 5.2
FreeBSD

and less recently, OSF/1.

I have just (this week) got access to an SGI Origin running IRIX 6.5.27.
In answer to your previous questions about locales, "locale -a" shows
no
utf8 locales; mbrtowc and wcwidth are defined in wchar.h.

Compiling R with the native compilers looks problematic. If I find the
right compiler flags I will let you know.

Hi,

Not that rare presumably, but I've just got R up and running on NetBSD
2.0/i386, using gcc 3.3.3, straight from the packages collection (this
does apply a few patches to the configure script, and I have not
examined what they are).

make check does fail, however, as it cannot load package tcktk.  There
is a core dump, but I have no idea how to extract anything useful from
that (and presumably need to recompile R with debugging information
turned on).  As I don't use this package, it doesn't bother me, but
I'm happy to do any investigating.  (Since it seems relevant, I have
tcl 8.4.9).

I'll probably have a shot at NetBSD/alpha once R-2.1.0 is released.

Cheers,
Rich
