I pull zlib from a non-os location because the build does not/did not find the os location. I should try removing it and see if configure can find it in /usr/lib and/or /usr/local/lib - in both locations.
With building for AIX I am accesstomed to "issues" and I work a long time to get as transparent a solution as possible. My time to work on things like this is non-linear - some days I have time available, and then a week or more I must leave it idle. If my contribution is of any interest, please let me know, and I shall contribute as I can. I do appreciate the open replies I have received since joining the list last September. I consider myself more a tester than a developer, but was told the test list was being merged into dev. Hence, I also feel unqualified to vote - and refrain from voting. I have a question regarding pcre. What minimal level is needed. While I cannot compile 8.0 without building a new build server maybe the 7.8 version, if that is minimal, is possible. IF I understand some of the mails correctly, it is npot all of pcre that is needed, just some particular parts - that may be different across different distributions. Whether it is before alpha, or after alpha - for me to build anything 2.3.+ I will need assistence with getting the needed parts built.
