I´m trying to install Kerberos 5 on AIX 6.1 without much success. The configure command appears to work without any problems but when I run make I get the following errors:

Looking at various sources on the internet I´ve seen the gcc compiler sometimes has problems reading .so files. So I am suspecting that this is the problem and not the linker as the error implies because of course the linker can not read files that do not exist and I think the files in the error are probably created with the configure command.

Would I need to install the AIX compiler for the installation to work or would I need to install a newer version of gcc? I have gcc version 4.2.0 for AIX 6.1 installed.

Quick thought: Is your path set to pick up the correct versions of make and ld (e.g. GNU make rather than AIX make)?

Hi Gareth

Thanks for the suggestion, it was worth a punt but I got the same error as I did with the AIX make.

I´ve managed to fix the problem. This wasn´t a compiler issue but an incorrectly set variables in the Makefile in the source directory. The variables are REL and C. Change REL (which is blank) to REL=/source_dir and C to C=./src.

I now have the following error:

make: 1254-002 Cannot find a rule to create target /tmp/krb5-1.6.3../../include/autoconf.h from dependencies.
Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.
Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

If anyone knows how to fix this problem I would be very grateful. From my investigations these errors are general errors from the make command which could be from any software.

I managed to resolve this error. A variable was incorrect I´ve found a lot of these in the Makefile file. At the moment I´m looking for the libapputils.a file which does not appear to have been installed.
