I suppose I should have mentioned that. The 'make' that ships with AIX
seems to be bad when it comes to compiling OSS type stuff. So I've replaced
it with GNU Make v3.8, along with gettext v0.10.40, flex v2.5.4a, libtool
v1.5.8, readline v4.3, bison v1.875, autoconf v2.59, automake v1.8.5, expat
v1.95.2, m4 v1.4.1</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
They are all official IBM rpms from the Linux Toolbox for AIX.</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I don't suppose anyone notices a version conflict in what I've just mentioned?</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I've already changed the LIBPATH to /opt/freeware/lib:/lib:/usr/lib (and
kept it unset) to no avail. I've tried using GCC v3.3.2, and VAC v5.0,
7.0 and 8.0. </font><font size=3><br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Nothing seems to be working. I've tried starting from source using all
the aformentioned C compilers....Nada..</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I expect there is an incompatibility *somewhere*....But where that is...I
have no idea. </font><font size=3> <br>

I am wondering if there are incompatible instructions in your Makefile.<br>
<br>
Incompatible with your version of 'make', that is. If the Makefile.PL<br>
does not like the AIX /opt/freeware/bin/make, can you provide another one?<br>
<br>
If your "freeware" make is GNU make, is it a modern version?<br>
<br>
I have rarely gone wrong by forcing other members of the team to standardize<br>
on GNU make. Well, technically wrong, at least. :)<br>
<br>
If your system continues finding an incorrect version of a program or <br>
library, you<br>
can create a UID zero user who is not root for the duration of the <br>
install. Then<br>
you can hack the living ... umm, you can really make some profound <br>
changes to<br>
that new user's environment, including adding or subtracting huge <br>
sections of<br>
PATH to force certain code to be used in lieu of the system default.<br>
<br>
After the install is in production, back up the environment of the hacked-up<br>
superuser, and then delete that user.<br>
<br>
Please let us know what you tried, and if it works.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
<br>
Greg<br>
