Hi Joerg, I tried your suggestion as per: cd /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/ mv include inc cd install-tools export TARGET_MACHINE=AIX ./fixinc.sh /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/include >From fixinc.sh, I was getting errors saying that TARGET_MACHINE was not defined, so I took a stab in the dark and set it to AIX (couldn't find any docs to suggest anything else...) It seemed to run to completion after that. When I ran MySQL's configure, modified as per a number of posts regarding openssl directives to be: ./configure \ --prefix=/usr2/tools/mysql \ --with-big-tables \ --with-low-memory \ --with-vio \ --with-openssl \ --with-openssl-includes=/usr2/tools/openssl/include \ --with-openssl-libs=/usr2/tools/openssl/lib \ --without-extra-tools \ --without-docs \ --without-bench \ --enable-local-infile I then received many errors of the form: ... checking dlfcn.h usability... no checking dlfcn.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists. ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## checking for dlfcn.h... yes ... The config.log showed (for the above error, similar messages were emitted for other errors): ... configure:5338: checking dlfcn.h usability configure:5350: gcc -c -Wa,-many -maix64 conftest.c >&5 In file included from conftest.c:23: /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/include/stdio.h:268: error: parse error before "__gnuc_va_list" /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/include/stdio.h:269: error: parse error before "__gnuc_va_list" /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/include/stdio.h:270: error: parse error before "__gnuc_va_list" /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/include/stdio.h:272: error: parse error before "__gnuc_va_list" In file included from conftest.c:23: /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/include/stdio.h:474: error: parse error before "__gnuc_va_list" /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/include/stdio.h:475: error: parse error before "__gnuc_va_list" /opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/include/stdio.h:476: error: parse error before "__gnuc_va_list" ... The last configure message was: ... checking for char... no checking size of char... 0 configure: error: No size for char type. A likely cause for this could be that there isn't any static libraries installed. You can verify this by checking if you have libm.a in /lib, /usr/lib or some other standard place. If this is the problem, install the static libraries and try again. If this isn't the problem, examine config.log for possible errors. If you want to report this, use 'scripts/mysqlbug' and include at least the last 20 rows from config.log! So, it appears I've made things worse. :( Any ideas where to go from here? Cheers!
