Hi, I'm new to this list although I have been using exim on linux for
several years.
We are trying to compile exim on both AIX 5.3 and 6.1 with the same
results. I can compile the same source code without problems on Linux
(Slackware 12.0) without problems, so I assume the problems I am
experiencing are to do with the build environment on AIX. I have installed
all of the (I think ) required packages, both lpp's and rpm's. At the
bottom of the email, I have included a configure session from trying to
compile nano (which also fails) to give some more information about the
environment as exim does not seem to use a configure script to create a
Makefile.
If anyone can shed some light on the AIX side, this would be most helpful.
