Michael, I got access to PDP AIX so I can try to replicate your problem. Can you, please, share exactly your setup - AIX version and well as how exactly you installed the compilers (=where from)? I can then try to replicate it. AFAICS there is no official binary for gfortran nor gcc 4.7 so it must be some 3rd party - which could also be a problem. Thanks, Simon On Dec 17, 2015, at 12:02 PM,

Presumably the file in question is one of Peter-Dalgaards-MacBook-Air:BUILD pd$ grep -r "^Package: tools" * library/tools/DESCRIPTION:Package: tools src/library/tools/DESCRIPTION:Package: tools so the first thing I'd do is to have a good look at those files and see if they got somehow corrupted. If they look sane, presumably the bit of code that checks it isn't... So that

Hope I am not sounding too much like a broken record - as far as 64-bit build on AIX is concerned. ** Short - 32-bit builds complete normally, 64-bit builds stop at "installing 'sysdata.rda'" with message: Error: Line starting 'Package: tools ...' is malformed! Execution halted *** Longer... I could file a bug - Importance, showstopper - but I would prefer to better

I would be "pleased" if you would try packages - i.e., none of "Toolbox" or Perzl rpm's. The iconv I supply might not be working as is (I will need to install a new system to check). However, this is why I have been testing with R-3.2.3 - to side-step the system library dependencies. re: xz - I have "installp" version - and any of my packages should work

Simon - which compiler)s) did you use: xlc and xlfortran, or gcc/gfortran? I have made some changes to configure(.ac) so maybe my problems are self-inflicted. But would be good to know what environment you are using. Thanks for looking - and

Ok, found the problem - on platforms that support it TRE uses wint_t (from wchar.h) as its type for characters (tre_cint_t) which on AIX is *signed* int. TRE uses liberally conversions between int and tre_cint_t apparently assuming that the latter is unsigned so conversions back to int are suitable for comparisons etc. On other platforms wint_t is unsigned so it works. Manually defining tre_cint_t

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I am getting close to packaging R for AIX in 64.bit mode. One comment - the libtool.m4 I see used is quite old. The one I have on my system is 2.4.6, and what I see in R says: I am hoping a new libtool will clean up most of the manual work now needed. # Which release of libtool.m4 was used? macro_version=2.2.6 macro_revision=1.3012 This may be all that is

This seems to be a problem that goes back a long time - and I hope someone who understands what tre is suppossed to be doing will look at this. A short history of other people who have reported on this on different versions of AIX. I shall only add that I get the same results on AIX 5.3 TL7, AIX 6.1 TL9 and AIX 7.1 TL3. Basically, with settings that work for AIX and 32-bit - the only changes

a) google: "dovecot imap configuration" brought an article from 2005 as the first item: while I like debian and a bit of history you may want to ask yourself how to improve your site as the primary hit from google. FYI: years ago I had great results in the top of google searches - and then I made a major error - I moved my site to a new url and google forgot me. b) using your

Dear all, Starting all over again with R-devel of 22-11-2015. After getting the dependancies (minimal graphics initially) I have been able to come this far - with a 64-bit build on AIX. root at x072:[/data/prj/cran/64/R-devel]make make[1]: Entering directory '/data/prj/cran/64/R-devel/m4' make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'R'. make[1]: Leaving directory

Two things here - possibly irrelevant, but I'd avoid building in the source directory. (mkdir ../BUILD ; cd ../BUILD; ../R/configure) - don't turn on mantainer mode. You are not a maintainer, and if you want to play at being one, I think you
