    I think the problem is here.

    In the GNU C Library, "wctrans_t" is defined in "wctype.h", but on
my system,
    "wctrans_t" is not defined in /usr/include/wctype.h

    Does anybody has successfully installed R 2.1.1 on IRIX 6.5 ? I have
spent all
    day surfing on the net but find no helpful information.

    Thanks again !
