Re: [exim] Problem compiling exim on AIX

Hi, thanks for the "ar" link, I have set OBJECT_MODE=32_64 (in fact I have
also tried to set it to 64 bits, but with the same result as below).
Unfortunately, I am still having a problem.

I thought parse errors were synax related, but I find it hard to believe
that either aix or exim would have these sorts of errors.

Regards,
Andrew

You seem to have two different problems, because the Exim one is related
to library support, and the Nano one is a parse error from GCC. Exim comes
with its own copy of PCRE, so the RPM is irrelevant.

AIX has unusual non-ELF libraries, but I'm surprised that they managed to
break Exim's simple usage of ar - or perhaps it's just that your
installation of gcc has a different idea of the default to the native
tools. Anyway, have a look at the description of the OBJECT_MODE
environment variable in the ar man page. If you set it correctly you might
be able to get Exim to build...
