Hi Simon, I have been busy with work, but I finally got around to repackaging libiconv for AIX - in a way that both adds GNU libiconv support (libiconv.so.2 member) and is both 32 and 64 bit without breaking support for IBM iconv applications. I concur that iconv is a pain as IBM and GNU

The bulk is on my forums - the final post for today is: Results to date: A. It looks like I am going to need a newer compiler for C - xlc/xlC V11 apparently does not understand this code: "/data/prj/cran/R-3.2.3/src/main/memory.c", line 2149.31: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. I will have to

Michael, I'm using xlc + xlf - the exact flags are configure CC=xlc_r CXX=xlc++_r F77=xlf_r FC=xlf95_r LIBS='-L/opt/freeware/lib /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a -lpthread' --prefix=/opt/freeware CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/freeware/include with export OBJECT_MODE=64 in the env (and libiconv from perzl.org

I would be "pleased" if you would try packages - i.e., none of "Toolbox" or Perzl rpm's. The iconv I supply might not be working as is (I will need to install a new system to check). However, this is why I have been testing with R-3.2.3 - to side-step the system library dependencies. re: xz

Ok, found the problem - on platforms that support it TRE uses wint_t (from wchar.h) as its type for characters (tre_cint_t) which on AIX is *signed* int. TRE uses liberally conversions between int and tre_cint_t apparently assuming that the latter is unsigned so conversions back to int are

Michael, thanks, I'll have a look once my PDP VMs are up again (later today). This may be a signedness issue although it's unclear why other platforms wouldn't be affected. Cheers, Simon On Dec 31, 2015, at 10:14 AM, Michael Felt wrote: > On 2015-12-30 09:58, Michael
