Hi,
The build worked smoothly.
'install.packages("e1071")' worked correctly (this used to crash on the
only version I had managed to build before).
I have noticed that there are a lot of permissions that I had to check
after I did a "make install" .
"make check" failed with the following message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/geno4/watplatt/R/R-rc $ make check

The log file indicates the error is due to iconv not being available on
the system. (Specifically, configure would not run without the iconv flag
being set to "no").

AIX testers needed
With much thanks to Ei-ji Nakama, R 2.5.0 alpha supports building on AIX
(at least AIX 5.2 on one system).
Would anyone able to test this please get the latest tarball from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/R-latest.tar.gz
and try installing (after reading the AIX notes in R-admin.html section
C.9).
In particular it would be very helpful to know if
1) --enable-BLAS-shlib works (it is the default everywhere except AIX and
Darwin)
2) if people succeed in installing GNU libiconv and building without
needing --without-iconv.
I am Cc:ing all the people I tracked down who reported attempted AIX
installations in 2006 in the hope that they may still be interested.
Please report success and any hints or problems in the R-devel list.
