    Hello there,

    I've installed GCC on AIX 7.1 but I am getting some errors when compiliing db-6.0.20 as follow:

    checking for sh... /usr/bin/sh
    checking for a BSD-compatible install... ../dist/install-sh -c
    checking whether the C compiler works... no
    configure: error: in `/src/db-6.0.20/build_unix':
    configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
    See `config.log' for more details

     

    The binary of gcc is installed and available on /usr/bin/gcc, I have also exported CC using 'export CC=gcc' or 'export CC='/usr/bin/gcc'' but even after this the same error is showed.

    From config.log I got it:

    configure:5307: /usr/bin/gcc --version >&5

    | #define HAVE_UPGRADE_SUPPORT 1
    | /* end confdefs.h.  */
    |
    | int
    | main ()

     

    Need somehow disable it:

    -qalias=noansi from/usr/bin/gcc -O2 -qalias=noansi  -D_THREAD_SAFE  -Wl,-brtl conftest.c  >&5

    But didn't find yet the solution. If you guys give me any direction it would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    Luis
