Error compiling R on RS6000 (PR#290)

[Thomas Vogels]

Paul,

  do you have the output from configure?  What probably happens is
that the libs libz.a and libncurses.a get picked up erroneously in the
configure stage.  For a quick fix, could you check whether R compiles
cleanly after adding in config.site:

LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lreadline -lcurses"

(Replacing /usr/prod/contrib/lib with the path to the directory where
you find libreadline.a on your system.  Other candidates are /usr/lib or
/usr/prod/contrib/lib.)

P.S. which version of AIX are using?
