[R] Compiling R under IBM-AIX using IBM native C-compiler
Would anybody have any experience with that ? (that's the first time I use AIX) The configure step is incredibly slow... any hint ? L.

With 4.3 on RS/6000 hardware I can compile with either gcc or the native tools (though not with a mixture of the two). The configure and build is very slow, and is even worse with gcc. I don't actually *use* R on AIX, but it does pass make check. There are also some R users on AIX at CMU, I believe. OTOH, someone has reported problems with a more modern AIX on PowerPC hardware. -thomas
