[R] Problems Building Ron AIX 5.2.0.0 (Solved)
Happily I got this to work, largely by trial-and-error. In hopes that this will help somebody else, my config.site ended up being: OBJECT_MODE=64 R_PAPERSIZE=letter CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc MAIN_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl SHLIB_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-G Which is virtually identical to that recommended in R-admin: one of my problems was using "-W1,brtl" rather than "-W1,-brtl". This was R 2.0.1 on AIX 5.2.0.0 with GCC 3.3.2 The previous messages I'd posted on this issue are included below. Paul ===========================================================My apologies -- I had believed that by linking the source message I had made the detailed context available. I will be more careful in the future to correctly give full context.

Hello,
The set of messages below reports a successful build of 2.0.0 on AIX 5.2
using GCC 3.3.2
I've been trying for a while now to build 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 and have been
unsuccessful. I've tried:
- GCC 3.3.2 and 4.0.1
- default AIX make and GNU make
- 32-bit and 64-bit builds
A typical configure output is:
=============================================R is now configured for
powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0
Source directory: .
Installation directory: /db2blast/R/2.1.0
C compiler: gcc -mno-fp-in-toc -maix32 -g -O2
C++ compiler: g++ -g -O2
Fortran compiler: g77 -maix32 -O2
Interfaces supported: X11
External libraries:
Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, MBCS, NLS
Options enabled: R profiling
Recommended packages: yes
=============================================
In all cases make crashes with:
=============================================make[5]: Leaving directory
`/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src/library/tools/src'
make[4]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src/library/tools/src'
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library
'/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so':
Execution halted
make[3]: *** [all] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src/library/tools'
make[2]: *** [R] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src/library'
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src'
make: *** [R] Error 1
=============================================
Any ideas on what might have changed between 2.0.1 and 2.1.0 to cause this,
or maybe any suggestions on what I could try next?
