Issue 1695179: Failure to build on AIX 5.3 (original) (raw)

AIX 5.3.0.0 gcc 4.0.0 tk8.4 tcl8.4 xlc_r 6.0.0 cc_r 6.0.0

Regardless of which of the compilers I use gcc, xlc_r, or cc_r, I get the following error after I hit make:

creating build/temp.aix-5.3-2.5/opt/freeware/src/packages/Python-2.5/Modules gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I/opt/freeware/src/packages/Python-2.5/./Include -I./Include -I. -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/freeware/src/packages/Python-2.5/Include -I/opt/freeware/src/packages/Python-2.5 -c /opt/freeware/src/packages/Python-2.5/Modules/_struct.c -o build/temp.aix-5.3-2.5/opt/freeware/src/packages/Python-2.5/Modules/_struct.o creating build/lib.aix-5.3-2.5 ./Modules/ld_so_aix gcc -pthread -bI:Modules/python.exp build/temp.aix-5.3-2.5/opt/freeware/src/packages/Python-2.5/Modules/_struct.o -L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.5 -o build/lib.aix-5.3-2.5/_struct.so collect2: library libpython2.5 not found *** WARNING: renaming "_struct" since importing it failed: 0509-022 Cannot load module build/lib.aix-5.3-2.5. 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. error: No such file or directory

For some reason when I use xlc_r or gcc, it fails to find the local libpython2.5.a library that is residing in the current directory. When I use cc_r, it fails to find libtcl8.4.so and libtk8.4.so even though there are copies of those in the local . directory.

Any help would be appreciated. Here are the configures I used:

./configure --with-gcc="xlc_r -q64" --with-cxx="xlC_r -q64"
--disable-ipv6 AR="ar -X64" --enable-shared

or ./configure --with-gcc --with-cxx=g++
--disable-ipv6 --enable-shared

or configure --disable-ipv6

Let me know if there is other information you need.
