FYI. We also have plan for updating R-4.3.2 in AIX toolbox.

Hi Vince,
it took more time as I thought. I took @Ayappan P R package from AIX toolbox and rebuilt it on AIX 7.3 TL2 SP1 with the new source code - 4.3.2. The most notable change I did - I was too lazy to implement vasprintf() and instead of it added -lmagic to LDFLAGS. libmagic.a is part of rpm.rte package and occasionally has vasprintf() implementation.
The rebuilt packages you can find at https://dl.power-devops.com/R-4.3.2-aix.tar.gz. They should be 100% compatible with the packages from AIX Toolbox.

Hi Vince,
I think it is either some configuration in your environment or AIX 7.3 build problem. I did configure several times for now on my AIX 7.2 TL5 but didn't get any problems and I have the same zlib version as you.
I will install AIX 7.3 TL2 SP1 and will try to build it there, but sorry - it will be either tomorrow or late at night.

Hi Andrey
my guess is the strange number from IBM for zlib with "-1" at the end confuses the configure test string if it is >= 1.2.5
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking if zlib version >= 1.2.5... no
checking whether zlib support suffices... configure: error: zlib library and headers are required
root@rb3zf01(Si):/cpt/R/R-4.3.2 $ rpm -qa|grep -i zlib
zlib-1.2.13-1.ppc
zlib-devel-1.2.13-1.ppc

Hi Vince,
this is interesting. It finds zlib.h, but can't compile with it. I downloaded R now and did get through this zlib without problems. (but got stuck on pcre2).
You can try to check in config.log if you see some errors there. It is a very big file, but somewhere not so far from the end it should contain the errors.
If you want you can try to test it manually. I extracted the test from configure and check it on my system:
#include <stdlib.h>#include <string.h>#include <zlib.h>int main(void) {#ifdef ZLIB_VERNUM if (ZLIB_VERNUM < 0x1250) { exit(1); } exit(0);#else exit(1);#endif}
gcc -o conftest -mno-fp-in-toc -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lrt -ldl -lm -liconv./conftest ; echo $?
It should show 0. But in your case - 1 or maybe some other error.

HI Andrey
i have tried the options but doesnt work
first option you gave result in
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking if zlib version >= 1.2.5... no
checking whether zlib support suffices... configure: error: zlib library and headers are required
Second option with zlib also doesnt work but zlibnx is installed
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking if zlib version >= 1.2.5... no
checking whether zlib support suffices... configure: error: zlib library and headers are required

Hi Vince,
try to add CFLAGS before calling configure:
CFLAGS=-I/opt/freeware/include ./configure
Or if you have zlibNX installed, you can try to compile it with it:
CFLAGS=-I/usr/opt/zlibNX/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/opt/zlibNX/lib ./configure
If you execute ./configure --help it should also show you an option to specify the path to zlib includes.

Hi
we updated our AIX to latest 7300-02-01-2346 level and we running the CPT Tool from IBM Lab Service which is managed by Michael Quaranta ( quaranta@us.ibm.com ). We detected that we got Abend in R Run within CPT and michael wrote:
Hi Vince – you may need to rebuild the R packages, do you still have the source tarballs?
So i have downloaded latest R Source code and tried to compile but failed. See error message with zlib header but dont know how to solve. Can you help me here please ?
thx a lot vince
