[R] R compile on AIX 5.3

[Matthew Beason]

Professor,

	It is version 2.2.0 of R. I'll download 2.2.1 straight away and
see if that makes a difference.

	On lines 793 & 794 of /usr/include/netinet/in.h, I found the
following:

	socklen_t       inet6_rth_space(int, int);
	void            *inet6_rth_init(void *, socklen_t, int, int);

	I have one other question for you if you don't mind. Do I need a
library such as ATLAS to get the most use out of R? Is there a
difference with R if you don't use something like ATLAS?
	
	I'm glad to be blazing new trails as far as compiling R on AIX
5.3. I think this is a useful exercise.

Thanks again!

1) What version of R is this?  If not 2.2.1 beta, please do try that as
there have been some recent AIX-related patches.

2) What is on lines 793 & 794 of /usr/include/netinet/in.h?
It looks like some other header file needs to be included first.

We only have reports of recent successful builds of R on AIX 5.2, no
reports from 5.3.
