I am trying to install R package on AIX5.3. I've two queries regarding it:

  1. I followed Fan Long's steps. I installed the GNU utilities: libiconv and gettext also. However, on running

./configure --with-libpth-prefix=/home/jayant/utils --disable-nls --without-libintl-prefiX --with-included-gettext=home/jayant/utils --with-blas="-llapack -lessl -lblas" --prefix=home/jayant/R-2.15.3

I get the following error:

"sys-std.c", line 893.13: 1506-045 (S) Undeclared identifier rl_readline_name.

  1. Native 'sed' on aix does not support '-e' option. I installed sed from GNU utilities. In the configure script, how should I force it to take my sed instead of the native one. I tried

export sed=/home/jayant/sed-4.2/bin/sed.

but it does'nt work?

You need to ensure that the desired sed gets picked up. Say:

PATH=/home/jayant/sed-4.2/bin:${PATH} ./configure ...

Or if you want to add it to the PATH, say:

PATH=/home/jayant/sed-4.2/bin:${PATH}; export PATH

(Add it to your ${HOME}/.bashrc if you so desire.)
