No, I was just summarizing what prereqs I was using for my tests. This is definitely something for the README.

On my build hosts (AIX 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 6.1) "-lm" is always needed. > I was looking at a document that told me _AIX52 would be defined on > all versions >= 5.2 - do you believe that is correct, or is it only > defined on that exact version? Speaking for the IBM XLC/C++ compiler this is definitely true, for GCC I still have to check. I always set the appropriate environment variables on the different levels of AIX (I don't want to run into any surprises :-) ) as documented at: http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.Instructions >> The following patch is absolutely required to get it working on AIX 6.1: > I will apply this patch for the next snapshot - this will be safe on > any AIX version?
