If you are using the IBM provided gcc (4.0?), I found that was hopelessly broken.
Thanks, after installing gcc 4.2.0 from the IBM website gcc works more or less. Problem is, I still can't compile boost because I get an internal compiler error now (see below some gcc output) for some sources. I was wondering, did ANYONE manage to compile boost on AIX 5.3 with gcc? If so, which version of boost and gcc did you use? Cheers, Andrej ibm1# make ./tools/jam/src/bin.aix/bjam --user-config=user-config.jam warning: Graph library does not contain optional GraphML reader. note: to enable GraphML support, set EXPAT_INCLUDE and EXPAT_LIBPATH to the note: directories containing the Expat headers and libraries, respectively. warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam. note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam. note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message.
