We do have alpha/beta test periods for new releases of R, so would anyone who did test AIX please confirm that they did succeed. (No one reported an error, including yourself: are any AIX users interested in helping having R available for AIX?) It is much better to have such reports during alpha test, or at least beta test.

Can anyone give > me some hint of how to solve it? You appear not to be using the standard loader (`/usr/local/bin/ld'). Please set MAIN_LDFLAGS (ideally in config.site before configure, but you can edit Makeconf now) to whatever your loader needs. If this is GNU ld then I guess you need -Wl,--export-dynamic. -- Brian D.
