AIX- Does not install shared lib

Question

I am able to build the shared object successfully using the holy native compiler "xlc" on AIX.It does build the shared object library but does not install the shared object library.

Configure command is: ./configure --prefix=/PATH/to/install --exec-prefix=/PATH/to/install --enable-shared --enable-static=no --enable-module=so --build=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0 --host=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0 LDFLAGS="-G -shared"

Any help would be appreciated?

Answer 1

So you are trying to compile to the shared library location.

I would suggest seeing if you can compile/link to your local directory.

If that works, try copying the new library to the correct directory. It may be that the oldshared library is open by some process and therefore can't be overwritten.

Are you getting any error messages?

Answer 2

I could install the shared library successfully when i had to exclusively export LDFLAGS as "-brtl -L/path/to/install".
