Re: [Rd] segfault with readDCF on R 3.1.2 on AIX 6.1 when using install.packages

Here's an update: I checked the ChangeLog for R, and it seems like readDCF was changed in 3.0.2. I went on a whim and copied src/main/dcf.c from R 2.15.3 over to 3.2.2, and R compiled fine and install.packages now work for me. This is probably not ideal, but it at least makes R usable on AIX

Re: [Rd] segfault with readDCF on R 3.1.2 on AIX 6.1 when using install.packages

Hi there, I just wanted to follow up on this readDCF issue with install.packages on AIX on R 3.*. I'm happy to help try potential solutions or debug if anyone could point me in the right direction. To re-cap, it appears readDCF is segfault'ing since R 3.* on AIX. This was not the case up until

Re: [Rd] segfault with readDCF on R 3.1.2 on AIX 6.1 when using install.packages

Hi, Note that one significant change to read.dcf() that happened since R 3.0.2 is the addition of support for arbitrary long lines (commit 63281), which never worked: dcf <- paste(c("aa: ", rep(letters, length.out=1)), collapse="") writeLines(dcf, "test.dcf")

[Rd] segfault with readDCF on R 3.1.2 on AIX 6.1 when using install.packages

Dear list (re-posting from r-help as r-devel is probably more appropriate), I was able to successfully compile R on our AIX box at work using the GNU compilers following the instructions on the R Administration guide. The output can be seen at here
