Dwight added the comment: Hi David, Thanks for the feed back. I must have a defective distribution because when installed python 3 it did not remove the older python 2. Also for some reason I have to set the LIBPATH to include the path to python libarary. Don't know why; but the build does not build a python module that know where the library is installed. I understand that IBM no longer sells workstations based on the Power processor; but there are a few of us out here that have been working on RT/PC, RS/6000 and pSeries system for close to 20 years. It is not a simple project to just up and move to a different environment even if it is another UNIX system. (I have a number of assembly applications that I use every day! Optimized for the Power processor!) I have used the new python to successfully build atk; but am having problems with GObject-Introspection 1.42. It seems that python 3 broke something in that distribution. So far I have not been able to determine if there is a fix for the problem. I have two power systems. A 9114-275 Intellistation and a pSeries 520. Both are configured as workstations. I certaily would rather not have to spend my time trying to build firefox; but I need firefox to access the AIX support site and the H/W and S/W documentation site. (It took about a year for someone to fix it so that I could access the online support site. They at least admitted it was there fault that I could not access the site. However; the current support person/group will not even admit that there is a problem.) Well enough of this off the subject stuff. Thanks for the information and comments. I guess I am now off to solving the GObject-Introspection 1.42 problem. Humm! Have you heard about this incompatability problem?
