That all looks reasonable. I've got Perl 5.6.0, but Perl isn't needed at
runtime. I don't have makeinfo or readline. I don't know if g++ is
compatible with the C and Fortran compilers but there isn't any C++ in the
base R.

Some of this I'll need to get from our administrators.

It's a cluster of RS/6000s and from uname they appear to be 7015/R00 or
7015/R24.
lslpp  -L suggests that the versions of various components of AIX are
mostly 4.3.3.10 or 4.3.3.25
