I haven't heard of anyone using Boost on that platform. Thus you many have 
to do some configuration work first.

Please let us know of your progress, and consider posting patches or new 
config library files so others can benefit from your experience.

Is this the IBM Visual Age compiler?  If so, take a look at the IBM Aix 
tests at http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/, since these use 
that compiler. As you can see, a later version does quite a bit better than 
an older version.

A place to start is compiling and running libs/config/config_test.cpp and 
viewing the output to make sure your platform, compiler, and library are 
recognized correctly. If not, and you need help, post a message here.

HTH,
