[R] Problem with a 64bit R on HP-UX]

[Luke Tierney]

Quick and very dirty solution that seems to sort of work for me:
configure as you do, then

	gmake

until it fails, then

	gmake LDFLAGS=""

until that fails.  At this point you should have a working base R.
Linking with f90 or cc seems to need +DD64, but direct linking with ld
does not (ld seems to try 64 bit if any objects are 64 bit).

Now do

	env R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/bin gmake LDFLAGS=""

This final step is needed because the bin/R shell script is not able
to install source packages with compiled code and so installing the
recommended packages fails.  The problem seems to be with setting of
SHLIB_PATH in bin/R: it sets the 64-bit locations, but this confuses
some part of the cc chain that is still 32-bit.

I also get the message

/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unable to find library '/usr/lib/nls/loc/pa20_64/locales.2/C'.

on startup; doesn't seem to be fatal though (but it does cause make
check to fail).

We need to clean this up, but as this is very much a minority platform
I'm not sure how soon anyone will get to it.  Help is of course
welcome...
