I just wanted to follow up my previous email: I tried compiling 2.7 (without editing any config.guess or configure files as they are up to date for AIX6) and it failed with the exact same errors.
So I'm still stuck and not sure what I should to do get this to compile. Any other ideas out there? -B -----Original Message----- From: python-list-bounces+cbds=argushealth....@python.org [mailto:python-list-bounces+cbds=argushealth....@python.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Jollans Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 11:51 AM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: Issues compiling 2.6.5 on AIX 6.1 On 07/08/2010 04:36 PM, Stopp, Bryan wrote: > I've seen other threads on this issue, but the resolution still doesn't > seem to exist for me. > > > > I'm running the configure script with these parameters: > > > > ./configure --prefix=/build/tools \ > > --exec-prefix=/build/tools \ > > --enable-shared \ > > --enable-ipv6 \ > > --with-gcc \ > > --with-pth > > > > I also want to state that I already edited all of the configure & > config.guess scripts to comprehend AIX6.1 (they're not updated yet). This smells horribly like rather risky business. I don't know what you changed or how experienced you are when it comes to editing these auto-generated, system-specific files. Have you tried with Python 2.7, or do you need 2.6? Python 2.7 might work here? Since configure and config.guess are auto-generated, maybe you can regenerate them with a newer/updated version of autoconf that supports your system. Quite frankly, it surprises me that changes to configure would be necessary. Is the system that unusual? What happens if you --disable-shared ? I expect you want the shared library, but - does it work? Just some random thoughts -- I know nothing about AIX and little about cross-UNIX portability beyond, to an extent, GNU vs BSD.
