[R] R 1.9.1 compilation error (on AIX 5.1)

[Liao, Kexiao]

Dear R Development Team,
   I have IBM AIX 5.2 and am trying to install R-1.9.1 on it. If I use
the CC=xlc as the C compiler command, I got the following error message.

configure:3641: checking for gcc
configure:3667: result: xlc
configure:3911: checking for C compiler version
configure:3914: xlc --version </dev/null >&5
./configure[3915]: xlc:  not found
configure:3917: $? = 127
configure:3919: xlc -v </dev/null >&5
./configure[3920]: xlc:  not found
configure:3922: $? = 127
configure:3924: xlc -V </dev/null >&5
./configure[3925]: xlc:  not found
configure:3927: $? = 127
configure:3950: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:3953: xlc -O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto -q64
-I/usr/local/inc
lude -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c  >&5

  It seems AIX does not have xlc, gcc is the correct choice for most of
the AIX system.

The following are the entries in the config.site file I used to compile
R-1.9.1 on AIX.  See if that helps.

CC=xlc
CFLAGS="-O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto -q64"
F77=xlf
FFLAGS="-O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto -qextname -q64"
SHLIB_LDFLAGS="-Wl,-G -Wl,-bM:SRE -Wl,-H512 -Wl,-T512 -Wl,-bnoentry
-Wl,-bexpall"
CXX=xlC
CXXFLAGS="-O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto -q64"
