Hi Michael, I experienced the same thing in the past. After you get the R-3.2.2.tar.gz and uncompress it, enter the R-3.2.2 directory and run the ./configure and make from there, rather than a different one.
One other thing, you probably already did this, but just in case you might want to double-check this section as well: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#AIX Hope it helps, ~p -----Original Message----- From: R-devel [mailto:r-devel-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of aixtools Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 4:31 PM To: r-devel@r-project.org Subject: Re: [Rd] compile question On 2015-11-23 18:52, aixtools wrote: > Dear all, > > Starting all over again with R-devel of 22-11-2015. > > After getting the dependancies (minimal graphics initially) I have > been able to come this far - with a 64-bit build on AIX. > > > > This is my configure call: > > #!/usr/bin/ksh > # my_config_test > > . /data/prj/cran/64/setup.env > > ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-R-shlib --enable-lto > --with-libpth-prefix=prefix=/opt \ --prefix=/opt \ > --disable-rpath --with-readline=no --with-x=no \ > --with-cairo=no --with-libpng=no --with-jpeglib=no > --with-libtiff=no \ > --with-aix-soname=aix > So, modified the configure call, just incase, to be a bit more 'normal', but still getting a failure with: creating src/scripts/R.fe make[3]: Entering directory '/data/prj/cran/64/R-devel/src/scripts' mkdir -p -- ../../bin make[3]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/cran/64/R-devel/src/scripts' make[2]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/cran/64/R-devel/src/scripts' make[2]: Entering directory '/data/prj/cran/64/R-devel/src/include' mkdir -p -- ../../include /bin/sh: ../../tools/missing: not found.
