Issues compiling 2.6.5 on AIX 6.1

[Stopp, Bryan]

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?

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.

Cheers,

Thomas
