Re: net-snmp 5.4 with perl support on AIX 5.3

Thomas,

Unfortunately I don't know anything about AIX internals... And this is too
far out of the scope of what I am trying to accomplish. I was trying to
install the net-snmp perl module as it is a requirement for another perl
software (snmp-info). I don't need to get the net-snmp agent to run on my
systems as the one provided for AIX works fine for what I need. I guess
that's the reason net-snmp was never made compatible with AIX.

Thanks

Ideally, we'd be able to do shared library building on AIX with latest
stable
vanilla libtool and have things just work like on any other platform. But
this
isn't the case on AIX (yet), perhaps related to AIX linking peculiarities,
our
broken library layering, a symbol clash or a combination of even more
things.
Ideally, you could track it down, fix it yourself and submit the patch. :-)

Do you have the IBM xlc compiler available?
What level of AIX experience do you have?
How motivated are you to get this working?
