<font face="Times New Roman"><big><big>Hi,<br>
I am primarily a user; but since I can not get a newer
version<br>
of firefox for my system I have begun the very long process of
<br>
trying to build a newer version of firefox for my system.<br>
I am using an IBM pSeries system running AIX 7.1.<br>
I am using gcc and IBM ld.<br>
All the modules I have built are being installed in a
directory<br>
called /opt/alinux. A lot of linux routines are stored in a
directory<br>
called /opt/freeware and of course IBM has some version of
their<br>
own which are installed in /usr... Currently there is only
one thing<br>
installed in /usr/local and that is clamscan.<br>
I have built and installed the tcl.8.6.3, tkl.8.6.3 and
python 2.7.9 into<br>
/opt/aluinux.<br>
I am now trying to build and install python 3.4.2. So far
I<br>
have found a way to compile python successfully. There are <br>
only three features missing (_sqlite3, ossaudiodev and spwd).<br>
The configure command I ran was:</big></big><br>
<font color="#009900">./configure --prefix=/opt/alinux
--exec-prefix=/opt/alinux --enable-shared --with-system-ffi
--enable-ipv6 \<br>
--with-tcltk-includes='-I/opt/alinux/include'
--with-tcltk-libs='-L/opt/alinux/lib' | tee MYconfig.log</font><br>
<br>
<big><big> After running gmake test I found:</big></big><br>
<font color="#009900">Ran 509 tests in 47.407s<br>
FAILED (errors=2, skipped=8)<br>
Ran 49 tests in 0.065s<br>
FAILED (failures=2, skipped=1)<br>
Ran 34 tests in 0.320s<br>

Ran 80 tests in 1.040s<br>

FAILED (failures=6, errors=5, skipped=83)<br>
Ran 97 tests in 21.921s<br>
FAILED (failures=9, skipped=3)</font><br>
<big><big> I then tried to run ./python -m test -v
test_whatever<br>
and got the following error:</big></big><br>
<font color="#009900">$ pwd<br>

$ ./python -m test -v test_ssl<br>

following errors:<br>

be loaded.<br>

0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path
name does not exist.<br>
</font><big><big> I would really appreciate some help in
determining what I am doing wrong.<br>
As I said in the beginning I am primarily a user and not a
developer. I can solve<br>
some fairly simple problems; but that about it.<br>
I am guessing that there is some kind of linking problem;
but I do not know<br>
how to solve this problem.<br>
I tried this:</big></big><br>
<font color="#009900">$
LDFLAGS=-L/home/surfer/DownLoadLFNs/HTML/NEWS/BuildFirefox/Python-3.4.2
<br>
$ export LDFLAGS</font><br>
<big><big>and got the same results.</big></big><br>
