Patch attached. While I was there, I found that db.h wasn't being detected, mostly because configure.in, in the checks for <db/db.h> and <db.h> first does a #include of <inttypes.h> and then typedefs uint8_t, uint_16_t, and uint32_t itself, which promptly errors out because they were typedef;ed in AIX's <inttypes.h> I didn't create a patch for this one because I didn't know what can of worms those typedefs were put in to fix.... /Valdis *** aclocal.m4.dist Wed Dec 1 03:59:06 1999 --- aclocal.m4 Wed Feb 9 17:33:20 2000 *************** *** 119,125 **** # PIC (with -KPIC) is the default. ;; ! os2*) # We can build DLLs from non-PIC. ;; --- 119,125 ---- # PIC (with -KPIC) is the default. ;; ! aix3* | aix4* | os2*) # We can build DLLs from non-PIC. ;;
