[R] gcc on AIX is not compatile with R-1.9.1

[Liao, Kexiao]

Hi Uwe Liqqes,
   Does the successful compilation for R-1.9.1 on AIX 5.1 depend on the
IBM AIX compiler for C and C++ (xlc/xlC)? gcc on AIX is not compatible
with R1.9.1.

What about "make check"? And thereafter "make install"?

So either you don't have permission to read .../library/base/...
or compilation was not successful and the package(s) have not been
created.
Please tell us the error messages which appeared during compilation, and

try running make check, if there were no error messages....
