Has anyone successfully compiled Python in this configuration?
I am trying to convince our Unix people to use Python, but they have
been put off by the apparent difficulty to compile the previous version
on their AIX machines. They are tempted to use Perl, just because it
comes pre-compiled on their machines.
I am not a Aix system engineer, but a happy Python programmer and I have
offered them my help. My only try at compiling Python was on SUSE 8.2,
and I have had absolutely no problems...
I'd appreciate if somebody could point me to known issues regarding
this.

I built 2.2.1, haven't tried 2.3. Looking at the source, I see
I changed a couple of things in setup.py. Where it looks for
terminfo, doesn't find it and sets curses_lib to ['curses', 'termcap'],
remove 'termcap'.
I also commented out the lines following "# Ensure that /usr/local
is always used". I don't recall the reason for this, but of course
this will depend on the site.
Then configure with '--with-cxx=no'.

Its not 2.3, but you can get an RPM for Python 2.2 from this page; http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/pro.../download.html
Simply download and install using pkgadd. The package name may indicate
that its for AIX 4.3 but it is installed and running on our AIX 5.1
server at work.
Regards,
Andy

Hi All,
I have upgrade the OS from AIX5.1 to AIX5.2ML03 and installed DB2v8.2(
no FixPack) on RS/6000 H50. I find it is very slow when run command
db2icrt to create Instance and db2start.
The db2icrt took me 2-3 minutes to finish.
The db2start took more than 1 minutes to start( without any database).
The hardware config is 2CPU 1GB memory.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
