Seems people are having issues with AIX compilation. I have not had any in some
time. A couple things I would suggest. Upgrade all supporting software
(bison/flex/etc..). The IBM ones are old and a little buggy. Compile everything
static, even the supporting software. Yes, I know it is a pain to compile all
the prerequisites, but in the end it will save you a lot of time. I listed this
before, but this is what I have for supporting software version:
BerkeleyDB.4.8
OpenSSL 1.0.0a (no-rc5 no-idea no-mdc2)
pcre-8.01
m4-1.4.13
bison-2.4
flex-2.5.35
Make sure that are first in the path for configure to pick them up. I tend to
stick with the native compiler for portability. Using GCC compiles easier, but
binaries are larger on AIX and require GCC standard library on the machine to
run. Also, if you are compiling on AIX6.1 with a script or spec file, make sure
to "unset RM" before the configure.
Your issue in particular is bison, get that to at least 2.4. It is not lex'ing
cf3parse.y correctly to produce a viable cf3parse.c.
