[R] R 1.9.0 on AIX, 64-bit

[Tim Hoar]

So --

I am getting the same thing - as far as the base-Ex.Rout.fail --
did undefining HAVE_WORKING STRPTIME  fix the problem?

Despite using the suggestions on page 21 of the install guide,
I cannot seem to find the set of options necessary for dynamic linking.
I am loading with xlc, MAIN_LDFLAGS = -brtl and SHLIB_LDFLAGS = -G

and still get the dreaded:

"> library(SparseM)
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
        unable to load shared library
"/home/blackforest/thoar/R/R-1.9.0/library/SparseM/libs/SparseM.so":

Error in library(SparseM) : .First.lib failed"


I need to compile in 64 bit mode so I can access more than 2GB of memory.
(so my CFLAGS, FFLAGS, LD_FLAGS  all have extra baggage)
Have you done this?  If you have -- would you care to share your environment
variable settings as well as your call to configure? (exists in config.log)
I'm getting pretty frustrated with this.

I am stepping back to see if I can get the 32bit compile to accept the dynamic
loading - so anything would help.

Thanks -- Tim
