I am trying to compile Python on Aix 5.3. I have used the following options as per the README file:
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/vacpp/bin ./configure --with-gcc="xlc_r -q64" --with-cxx="xlC_r -q64" \ --disable-ipv6 AR="ar -X64" When I run make I receive the following error: building 'zlib' extension ./Modules/ld_so_aix xlc_r -q64 -bI:Modules/python.exp build/temp.aix-5.3-2.6/u01/jamese/Python-2.6.1/Modules/zlibmodule.o -L/usr/local/lib -lz -o build/lib.aix-5.3-2.6/zlib.so ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .crc32 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .adler32 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .inflate ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .inflateEnd ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .inflateCopy ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .deflateCopy ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .deflate ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .deflateEnd ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .inflateInit2_ ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .deflateInit2_ ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .deflateInit_ ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information. *** WARNING: renaming "zlib" since importing it failed: Could not load module build/lib.aix-5.3-2.6.
