If your AIX machine has some optimised maths library, such as IBM's MASS or Intel's MKL, then you probably want to do this anyway. Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under construction.

On my machine it gets pulled up with help, and it should be shipped with every installation of R. http://127.0.0.1:30169/doc/manual/R-admin.html#AIX ?

You are in the hinterlands of operating systems. If you Google for R and AIX you
should find an R-forge project that purports to offer some assistance, but I
suspect that a copy of the R source code and the R Installation and
Administration document will be your best friends. Your success will probably
strongly depend on how much of the GNU software development chain that you
already have working. If you have more questions then you should read the
Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of this message which directs you to the
R-devel mailing list for questions on compiling R.

In the bowels of Google, there are some patches proposed for the 2.x series, and I was unable to get them to work. My recollection is that the Freeware for AIX (i.e. GNU stack) is rather old, and you would have a hard time getting newer versions of R to compile with those due to version dependencies. It's really tough to get GNU R to run, unless your machine happens to be running GNU/Linux on Power. Good luck, Eric
