[R] Compiling R 1.3.0 on AIX 4.3.3 and libz.a

We use R 1.3.0 in a Java application and it's been successfully deployed on
IRIX, Solaris and Linux machines. I've got a problem with R on our RS6000
(AIX 4.3.3) which I'm hoping I can solve by posting here.

R is compiled and bundled with our application (on all UNIX platforms) as
follows:

1. R is configured using: configure --with-x=no --with-tcltk=no
2. Once compiled (with gcc) and installed on development machines, a copy of
R's lib directory is bundled with our application, and R_HOME is set to
point to the appropriate area at runtime.

This has worked for Solaris and IRIX. In both these instances, our
application has been successfully deployed on target machines that weren't
used for development.

However, with a non-development AIX machine, the deployment failed. R
complained at runtime about not being able to access libz.a. Have I compiled
R incorrectly? Is there some prerequisite that applies to AIX and not to
other UNIXes, or have I merely been lucky with the other UNIXes in that the
prerequisites were already satisifed?

regards,
Peter
