Thanks I tried that and I seemed to have a working C compiler which compiled a "hello world" program without complaint but then when I copied it to the AIX 6.1 machine the binary wouldn't work - it complained about a missing "shr.o" in libc.a. I then tried compiling it with -static but the link phase failed with /home/crossenv/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix6.1/4.7.0/../../../../powerpc-ibm-aix6.1/bin/ld: internal error ../../binutils-2.22/ld/ldlang.c 6147 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Seems to be an assertion fail in "collect2". I tried asking about that in the binutils mailing list but no one has replied yet. This thing seems to be fighting me all the way, I can't get GCC to build native on AIX 6.1 -- John Collins
