I'm trying to build R 2.4.0 on aix 5 and not having much luck. If anyone on the list has built 2.3 or 2.4 on AIX and would be willing pass along some hints, I would be grateful. So would the research group that's waiting to use R.

With much thanks to Ei-ji Nakama, R 2.5.0 alpha supports building on AIX (at least AIX 5.2 on one system). Would anyone able to test this please get the latest tarball from http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/R-latest.tar.gz and try installing (after reading the AIX notes in R-admin.html section C.9). In particular it would be very helpful to know if 1) --enable-BLAS-shlib works
