Hi, Last year our systems group tried to install R on an IBM p5-570 machine (16 nodes, 256 GB shared RAM), running AIX 5.3. They ran into all sorts of difficulties and finally gave up. I am interested in trying again (and working with an IBM support group if necessary), but before embarking on this odyssey I was wondering if anyone on this list has ever successfully run R on a similar architecture/AIX OS? If so, is there any kind of cribsheet or other underground documentation that we could consult to get around any AIX peculiarities? Given IBM's long-term interest in the Life Sciences, it seems hard to believe that R would not be supported on this platform, but that is what we heard through the grapevine. Thanks for any thoughts/help with this. - Susan
