[R] Error compiling R 2.10.1 on AIX

[Balkrishna Ketkar]

Hello,
I am also facing exactly same problem like Mike while compiling R on AIX 5.3

Error in read.dcf(file = descfile) :
  Line starting 'Package: tools ...' is malformed!
Calls: makeLazyLoading ... code2LazyLoadDB -> loadNamespace ->
parseNamespaceFile -> read.dcf
Execution halted

My Environment is :

CC='xlc_r -q64'
CFLAGS='-O -qstrict'
CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/freeware/include -I/usr/lpp/X11/include/X11'
CXX='xlC_r -q64'
CXXFLAGS='-O -qstrict'
AR='ar -X64'
F77='xlf_r -q64'
LDFLAGS='-L/opt/freeware/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib'
LIBICONV=/opt/freeware
OBJECT_MODE=64

Any suggestions/solutions? I am compiling on AIX 5.3 same problem occurs for
2.10.1 and 2.11.1
