'dissapears'? I will paste my output as is, there are 2 commits, but
'git log' simply don't show them if $PAGER is not present:
$ ../git log
$ echo $?
0
$ PAGER=/bin/cat ../git log

The make test execution output is fairly long... do I post it all, or
attach MIME? However I'm leaving here and I cannot access the server
until tomorrow...

Yes, I installed 'top' on other AIX machine today, and it uses it's
own install script too... may be it's the best way for systems having
a poor 'install' tool.

Yes, it works... at least the executable is found :P
$ cat temp.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
print "hello"
$ ./temp.py
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
hello
