Hey Marshall,
I believe libgcrypt is "only" the openssl replacement. So if you have
an openssl on that box you can probably ignore it. Do a touch in spkg/
installed/name_of_spkg to skip over it. I also believe to recall that
all the SLL stuff is only needed for the notebook, so I am fairly
certain that you won't run your computations that way.
I am not sure if AIX these days is pure 64 bit or a hyprid 32/64
userspace. If it is pure 64 bit you shouldn't run into too much
trouble. Let me know if you have any problems. I anybody has access to
an AIX box for me I would be willing to get Sage to work on AIX, too -
I just love UNIX :)
Cheers,
Michael
