/usr/include/inistd.h has three lines that both the AIX make and GNU make seem to get hung on. These are lines 914 through 916. There is something about 'rid_t' and a '(' being expected before '[' and some other errors involved.

Anyway, I saved the file, remarked out the three lines (914-916) and tried running my compile again and found that everything worked just fine.

I'm think maybe that there needs to be a patch for this file.

Hi,
No clue here on the AIX version you are running and it seems you have a habit of modifying master header files - sound to me like you may have corrupted the file in the first place

My AIX 5.3 ML4 file has nothing like a rid_t in it.

Have you another identical level machine to see if the header file is complete/unchanged?

Or post the output from
oslevel -r
and
oslevel -s

here and you might get luck and someone can send you a copy.

Hope this helps, N

Hello,

Yes we have the same problems here when trying to compile postgresql-8.2.5 on AIX 6.1 ( using GCC 4.0.0 ).

The (dirty) trick of commenting out 3 lines in unistd.h is not enough :
the include file : /usr/include/sys/secattr.h has similar problems.

Turns out to be a problem with running gcc for AIX 5.3 on AIX6.1. I'm told that a GCC for AIX 6.1 will be available soon
