As maintainer of the Matrix package I'm currently claiming that
this is more an issue of AIX configuration when installing R
(and hence the Matrix package) than an issue of the Matrix
package per se.
> Please help
I'm trying, asking a few questions:
- Have made use of the many hints and consideration about AIX
installation in the official "R Administration and Installation"
Manual, notably section 'C.5 AIX', see, e.g.,
http://cran.rstudio.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#AIX
- What was the exact output when running ..../configure ?
- Have you set environment variables / PATH for compilers,
libraries, etc? If yes, which one?
Hoping this will lead further,
Martin Maechler
