R devel - Dec 2010 - Unable to build R-2.10.0 and later releases on AIX 6.1

Hi,

I have been able to build R-2.9.2 on AIX 6.1 and AIX 5.2. However, I
failed to build R-2.10.0 and later releases on these AIX platforms. The
error messages I got are attached below:

"connections.c", line 461.10: 1506-022 (S) "truncate64" is
not a member
of "struct Rconn".
"connections.c", line 772.10: 1506-022 (S) "truncate64" is
not a member
of "struct Rconn".
"connections.c", line 930.10: 1506-022 (S) "truncate64" is
not a member
of "struct Rconn".
"connections.c", line 2011.10: 1506-022 (S) "truncate64" is
not a member
of "struct Rconn".
"connections.c", line 2319.14: 1506-022 (S) "truncate64" is
not a member
of "struct Rconn".
"connections.c", line 3094.10: 1506-022 (S) "truncate64" is
not a member
of "struct Rconn".

My configure script is attached below:

#!/bin/ksh

LIBICONV=/opt/freeware

So presumably an AIX header is incautiously using 'truncate' as a 
macro and setting it to 'truncate64'.

Try adding

# undef truncate

after

# undef open

at ca line 46 of that file.
