Hi,

I am trying to compile VMD 1.8.5 from the source code on SDSC Datastar
which runs AIX 5.2. I have successfully compiled plugins there thanks
to helpful tips on this list, but I have not read of anyone going
through the full VMD compilation. I use these options to configure:

./configure AIX5_64 OPENGL FLTK TK IMD TCL PTHREADS NETCDF LP64

And then run gmake in the src directory. Most of the source compiles,
but it fails here with this message:

xlC -O -q64 -qarch=com -qtune=pwr4 -D_H_ACCESS=1 -DARCH_AIX5_64
-DVMDOPENGL -DVMDGRAPHICS -DVMDIMD -DVMDTHREADS -DUSEPOSIXTHREADS

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Phil
