I am trying to compile R 2.2.1 on aix 5.3 with xlc/xlC 7.0 , but i am
getting the error below. I did a search on the archive and someone had a
similar error as me but I can't seem to find a fix for the error below.

Unfortunately I never received a reply to those questions. This appeared to be something new in AIX 5.3's headers, most likely that they have apparently started defining SOCKLEN_T. For the R-devel version on R we changed to R_SOCKLEN_T. So please try the R-devel version of R, or change all occurrences of SOCKLEN_T to R_SOCKLEN_T. Googling showed that several other projects had been affected by this. E.g. http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2004/msg01205.html And socklen_t on AIX has been an age-old problem. ...> xlc -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2 > -I../../src/extra/pcre -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include > -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O -qstrict -c platform.c -o platform.o > "/usr/include/netinet/in.h", line 793.1: 1506-166 (S) Definition of > function socklen_t requires parentheses. > "/usr/include/netinet/in.h", line 793.17: 1506-276 (S) Syntax error: > possible missing '{'? > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 374.9: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 378.9: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 404.9: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 475.52: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 476.57: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 477.57: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 478.87: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 484.44: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text > socklen_t encountered. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 485.47: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text > socklen_t encountered. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 486.55: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 490.73: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text > socklen_t encountered. > "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 491.49: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text > socklen_t encountered. > "platform.c", line 1386.13: 1506-285 (S) The indirection operator cannot > be applied to a pointer to an incomplete struct or union. > "platform.c", line 1388.34: 1506-285 (S) The indirection operator cannot > be applied to a pointer to an incomplete struct or union. > make: The error code from the last command is 1. >-- Brian D.
