Hi R-Help, When we tried to install R 2.8.1 in our AIX system, we faced some error, please help.
OS level: AIX 7.1 64 bit R 2.8.1 We had a guide about How to install R 2.8.1 in AIX from R source code. Here is what I did: 1. Download the R source file, for example R-2.8.1.tar.gz , from http://www.r-project.org/ (or ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/CRAN/src/base/R-2/) and save it to the temporary directory. 2. cd /spss/src tar xzf R-2.8.1.tar.gz cd R-2.8.1 3. Download and install the patch from http://prs.ism.ac.jp/~nakama/AIX/AIX_R-2.8.1_fix.patch. mv AIX_R-2.8.1_fix.patch /spss/src/R-2.8.1 chown -R root:system /spss/src/R-2.8.1 chmod -R 775 /spss/src/R-2.8.1 zspssdb2was5:/spss/src/R-2.8.1# patch -p1 < AIX_R-2.8.1_fix.patch Hmm...  Looks like a unified context diff to me... The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |diff -ruN R-2.8.1.orig/Makeconf.in R-2.8.1/Makeconf.in |--- R-2.8.1.orig/Makeconf.in  2008-10-17 11:05:02.000000000 +0900 |+++ R-2.8.1/Makeconf.in     2009-02-19 17:48:17.000000000 +0900 -------------------------- Patching file Makeconf.in using Plan A...
