Bug #132637, was updated on 2001-Feb-15 15:59
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Extension Modules
Status: Open

Summary: can't compile modules on AIX 4.2.1 (for real this time)

Details: Hi,

CC=cc_r CFLAGS="-O2 -qmaxmem=6000" ./configure --prefix=/development/utils
--without-gcc
make CC=cc_r OPT="-O2 -qmaxmem=6000".

I'm building 2.1a2 with patch 103679 applied (necessary for makexp_aix and
ld_so_aix to be found earlier in the process). Here's some output (it's the
same for all modules):

building '_tkinter' extension
/development/utils/lib/python2.1/config/ld_so_aix cc
-bI:/development/utils/lib/python2.1/config/python.exp
build/temp.aix-2-000310094C00-2.1/_tkinter.o
build/temp.aix-2-000310094C00-2.1/tkappinit.o -L/usr/X11/lib
-L/usr/local/lib -ltk8.0 -ltcl8.0 -lld -lX11 -o
build/lib.aix-2-000310094C00-2.1/_tkinter.so
unable to execute /development/utils/lib/python2.1/config/ld_so_aix: No
such file or directory
WARNING: building of extension "_tkinter" failed: command
'/development/utils/lib/python2.1/config/ld_so_aix' failed with exit status
1

There are TWO things I notice here:

1) ld_so_aix is in Modules, not in /development/utils/lib/python2.1/config.
In fact, there is no directory called /development/utils/lib/python2.1.

2) (copied from above)
"/development/utils/lib/python2.1/config/ld_so_aix cc"

Note it says cc, not cc_r, which is how I configured and ran make. cc_r is
darn important, since python will blow up if it's configured with threads
but you don't run cc_r.

Previously this problem was mentioned in bug #129991, which was closed when
I submitted some patches I thought solved the problem...well they were
incomplete. I don't know exactly what to patch for the above problems...
