I'm trying to build python 2.4.2 on AIX 5.3 with the IBM xlC compiler as per the notes in the AIX Readme file. Basically my make fails with the errors listed below.
I'm calling configure with: ./configure --with-gcc="xlc_r -q64" --with-cxx="xlC_r -q64" --disable-ipv6 AR="ar -X64" It looks like it's not resolving symbols in readline. I originally tried the RPMS IBM supplies for GNU readline, then tried compiling GNU readline 5.1 myself, same errors with either version of the libraries. Anyone run into this with AIX and resolved it?
