How about PAGER=/bin/cat git log? If that works what's your pager, and do other git commands that use the pager (like git show) work or fail? > $ /usr/linux/bin/make prefix=$HOME/apps/ NO_OPENSSL=1 NO_TCLTK=1 > NO_EXPAT=1 PYTHON_PATH=/usr/local/bin/python install > > [...] > install -d -m 755 '/myhomedir/apps/bin' > getopt: illegal option -- d > Usage: install [-c dira] [-f dirb] [-i] [-m] [-M mode] [-O owner] > [-G group] [-S] [-n dirc] [-o] [-s] file [dirx ...] > make: *** [install] Error 2 > > Now the installing process fails because of the AIX 'install' tool and > I wonder, can I patch/configure the installing process for AIX?

The -c and -f options look likely from that synopsis. > PD2: I don't know if AIX python path is always /usr/local/bin/python, > but I've seen that git Makefiles set /usr/local/bin/python for FreeBSD > only: > > git_remote_helpers/Makefile: > ifndef PYTHON_PATH > ifeq ($(uname_S),FreeBSD) > PYTHON_PATH = /usr/local/bin/python > else > PYTHON_PATH = /usr/bin/python > endif > endif That's presumably because Python is most likely installed via the ports system on FreeBSD which drops it in /usr/local. How did you install Python on AIX? Is it from some IBM package or another method that's the most common & standard way to do it on AIX?.
