[Rd] [R] R compile on AIX 5.2

[Prof Brian Ripley]

[Moved to a more appropriate list.]

This is a problem with your f2c.  R-2.2.1 (of which you used a beta from 
more than a month ago) has been compiled using f2c, and I just checked 
that my f2c (compiled from the current netlib sources) does not produce 
anything like that or near on line 296.

Why not use a real Fortran compiler?  (Your gcc is rather old, as well.)

But R-devel_2006-01-25 does not support F2C, and its R-admin manual says 
so quite explicitly!
