    When I run xz after compiling on AIX 6 with

    ./configure --prefix=$HOME; make; make install
    

    , it gives an error looking in the wrong place for the libraries.

    >xz
    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program xz because of the following errors:
            0509-150   Dependent module ../../src/liblzma/.libs/liblzma.a(liblzma.so.5) could not be loaded.
            0509-022 Cannot load module ../../src/liblzma/.libs/liblzma.a(liblzma.so.5).
            0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
    

    If I cd to src/xz/ in the src directory it runs fine, of course, but not after installing it to $HOME.
    Help? Thanks! -Ross

    It sounds like a problem in the build system, maybe in libtool. I have no idea how to fix it. It sounds likely that some other packages have a similar problem on AIX.

    A workaround might be to disable building of shared liblzma by passing -disable-shared to the configure script.

    I was thinking something like that might work, and yes it did! Thanks! -Ross
