[R] problems compiling R on AIX5.1

[Harald Servat Gelabert]

Thanks for your help. 

I've tried to delete the references to R.exp (it was faster to check :)
but I receive a new error.

dumping R code in package 'methods'

Execution halted
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

But the shared library exists

p630n17:/scratch_tmp/harald/R-1.7.0>ls -la
/scratch_tmp/harald/R-1.7.0/library/methods/libs/
total 128
-rwxr-xr-x   1 harald   des           54758 May 05 18:10 methods.so

I've tried to compile with XLC and GCC3.1 and both fail on the same
location.

Does anyone any idea for solve this?

Best regards and many thanks,
