What fun. I don't often stoke up the boiler and actually compile open-source code, but here I am at the beginning of just such a joyous and wondrous adventure. I'm running the latest level of AIX (V5.3...V4.3 has been obsolete for at least, what, 5 years) and using the IBM compiler (xlc is similarly obsolete, from back when the compiler came with the O/S...oh, for the halcyon days of Unix's youth) as above
The IBM compiler is now know as xlc rather than xlC, and configure doesn't find it:
checking for xlC_r... no checking for xlC... no This is probably something that should be addressed in autoconf package by its maintainers.
and it isn't happy with the quota stuff:
checking sys/quota.h usability... no checking sys/quota.h presence... no checking for sys/quota.h... no checking sys/fs/ufs_quota.h usability... no checking sys/fs/ufs_quota.h presence... no checking for sys/fs/ufs_quota.h... no checking ufs/ufs/quota.h usability... no checking ufs/ufs/quota.h presence... no checking for ufs/ufs/quota.h... no
I guess this is because AIX has journalled filesystems and the quota.h stuff is under /usr/include/jfs/quota.h
Configure completes with this summary. Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 32bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : none Building with SSL support ........... : no Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file pam checkpassword (modules)
Right now, I'm just shooting (sorry, Mr. Cheney) for a clean compile...I'll leave such niceties as finding the OpenSSL binaries (which IBM, in its wisdom, puts in special places), doing a multiproccesor-enabled compile, etc. for later.
Onward! I have defined CC= /usr/vac/bin/cc. But alas, the party just doesn't happen. There's much like this:

Yikes. Would someone be so kind as to lend me a hand?
Looks like your compiler is not happy with system headers. To me it looks like the compiler is not really intended for the system you use it on. Maybe you should try installing some recent GCC.
