How to build R-1.3.0 under HP-UX 11.00

Prof Brian Ripley writes:

The first few errors mean that you don't have xdr support in the
libraries you included. R checks for the headers rpc/rpc.h and
rpc/xdr.h so you have those.

Try man xdr and see if it requires an additional library.

Actually, I think configure is not smart enough about this.

We currently test for the headers but not for any xdr_* library
function.  As we say that only ISO C can be assumed and everything else
must be tested for, I think we must test for the library functions too.
But where?
