Hello,

I am trying to install ODBC for AIX version 2.3.9, however, it is failing at configure.
AIX is at 7.2 TL4 SP3.

I get the following error message:

$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/unixODBC
checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking for gawk... (cached) nawk
checking for bison... no
checking for byacc... no
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc-8
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/tmp/odbc/new/unixODBC-2.3.9':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

Is it necessary to have gcc to have ODBC installed, can I bypass this somehow?
How do get beyond this point of the C Compiler not being able to create executables.

Thanks
