Re: AIX build works!

Ah, yes, there are two different Kerberos packages available on AIX, but they're both based on MIT.  The one in /opt/freeware is the one from the IBM AIX Toolbox for Linux.  IBM also provides their own build that installs using the AIX installp system and goes in /usr/krb5.  That package is available on the 2nd AIX disc, if you have media.  The installp one is the one I was using.  If you think we'd have better luck focusing on the /opt/freeware one, I'm happy to switch over to that instead.

Thank you!

Hi there-
   I think there's more to it than that.  First of all, IBM doesn't provide a krb5-config script with their kerberos.

I guess whatever 6.X has is different than in 7; the Kerberos in /opt/freeware works modulo what I described.

And if you run nm on libk5crypto.a, it's not wrong that the symbol it's looking for .krb5int_hash_md5 isn't there, just krb5int_hash_md5 without the dot.  I will keep looking at it, especially if the AIX build changes get merged.

I don’t have that power alas. Good luck.

Thank you!

At a guess, you need to either make krb5-config return 32 bit libpaths
first, or force your compiler and linker to be in 64 bit mode (e.g.
xlc_r -Wc,lp64 -Wl,lp64, ld -b64, gcc -maix64). Otherwise, the
configure tests throw errors which get sensed as the symbol not being
detected instead of what they actually are.
