Re: [Speedycgi-users] Compilation problems...

[Sam H. <sa...@da...>]

I think other people have reported AIX problems like this.  I don't
remember anyone reporting a fix though.

The remove_libs command is optional - it reduces the startup time for
the speedy binary by removing extraneous shared libs.  It's possible
it's part of the problem, in which case you can just remove it and run
the rest of the command (from "ld" on).

Have you tried gcc?

Or if you can give me an account on an AIX box I can try to fix it.
