Re: Linking problem on AIX 5.3

Hi,

As we always point out, both here and on the forum (e.g. search the forum for AIX): we wouldn't mind supporting AIX, but we do not have access to a machine. If you can give us access we'd be happy to fix the few AIX issues that have been introduced in ROOT since we lost access to an AIX machine. Without that access it's very difficult.

Cheers, Axel.
