I haven't touched an AIX system for a _long_ while (4.1.4, as I recall), but if "configure" says:
checking build system type... powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 ======= then I'd say that a move to AIX 4.3.3 would not generally be considered an "upgrade". Clearly, what should be simple C compile-link-run is failing, but it's not obvious (to me) why. Basic questions would be: What is a "cc" command actually running? Does it need some AIX-specific options to work the way gcc does? Is there a "libc.a" object library somewhere ("/usr/lib"?), and does it contain a "shr.o" module? ("Could not load module libc.a(shr.o). \ System error: No such file or directory" sure looks suspicious to me.) Is there some alternate C compiler interface which might work better (like "/usr/something/cc", instead of whatever "cc" is getting now)? Have you considered installing GCC? (You'd like to think that that wouldn't be needed.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
