Hi Jeff, Thanks for your quick response. Let me describe more about my situation.
1. Patch file - Yes, I found patch didn't change any file, so I manually changed 4 files(R-2.8.1/configure, R-2.8.1/configure.ac, R-2.8.1/Makeconf.in, R-2.8.1/src/main/Makefile.in) by reading the patch file. 2. why I use old version R 2.8.1 - We want to use SPSS Statistics to call R in our server and have to install "Statistics essentials for R" after R is installed successfully. In Statistics 20 document, it only supports R 2.8.1 and provide that install guidance. 3. I don't know how to disable HTML format in my mail client. Sorry for that. I rewrite colorful part again here as 3.1 and 3.2 : 3.1 Issue1: during "configure" step, I faced this error:"./configure [20510]: "${}": bad substitution". And I took action to solve it, the action is :add "shlibpath_var=LD_LIBRARY_PATH" before line 20510 of configure file. 3.2 Issue2: during "make" step, I faced the below error but I don't know how to fix it: ../../../bin/R[206]: "${}": bad substitution make: The error code from the last command is 1. Stop. 4. Since you said it's not a standard patch, do you have a standard patch for R 2.8.1 installation in AIX 7.1 64bit system?
