Installation problem on SGI IRIX6.5
Please do try reading the R-admin manual (as the INSTALL file asks you to:
it does not ask you to `surf on the net').
The following section may help you:
To enable UTF-8 support, configure with default @option{--enable-mbcs}.
This will check for a large number of features, notably support for the
C99/UNIX98 wide character functions and for UTF-8 or MBCS support in
X11. If enough of these are found, @code{MBCS} will be listed as one
of the ``Additional capabilities''
so try --disable-mbcs if your OS has broken header files. (It apparently
does have wctrans, but not the type it returns.)
Now we know of the existence of such an OS, we can add a check. Are
wctrans and wctrans_t defined anywhere else?

Hi, all,
I'm a newbie to R. I came across a problem when I tried to install R on
an SGI machine which is running IRIX64 6.5.
I have successfully run configure, but when I tried to run "make"(or
"gmake"), errors came out. Following is the error message.
Does someone has experiences in the R's installation on IRIX ? Any hints
will be greatly appreciated !
Thanks in advance!

I think the problem is here. In the GNU C Library, "wctrans_t" is defined in "wctype.h", but on my system, "wctrans_t" is not defined in /usr/include/wctype.h Does anybody has successfully installed R 2.1.1 on IRIX 6.5 ? I have spent all day surfing on the net but find no helpful information. Thanks again !
