[R] R.exp file on AIX 4.3.3

[rgrubbfink@cox.net]

I tried to compile R 1.7.0 on AIX 4.3.3 today. My initial error message was that ../../etc/R.exp could not be found.

I traced my way through the Makefiles to find where it should have been created, and found it in src/main/Makefile. I then tried typing make ../../etc/R.exp (in the src/main directory), but ldAIX4 created a nearly empty file (contains only "#! ." on line one).

So can anyone tell me why the normal make process doesn't create R.exp and how can I fix it? I am using GNU make 3.79.1, and gcc 2.95.3 (Fortran Front End version 0.5.25)

Thanks
