Ken, Thank you very much for the below info...
I've tried setting ulimit -n 1023 in the .profile, running the ./configure again, followed by the make check. The problem persists. Any other ideas (Ken or anyone?)? What I did was: $ ulimit -n 1023 $ pwd /usr/local/pth-2.0.7 $ ./configure Configuring GNU Pth (Portable Threads), Version 2.0.7 (08-Jun-2006) Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Ralf S.

The default value for *FD_SETSIZE* will vary, depending on the version of AIX. As the number of open files supported has increased, the default value of *FD_SETSIZE* has increased. In AIX 4.3.1, the size increased to 32767 open file descriptors (from 2000 in prior releases). In AIX 5.2, the size increased to 65534 open file descriptors. This value can not be set greater than *OPEN_MAX*, which also varies from one AIX Version to another. For more information, refer to the */usr/include/sys/time.h* file. The user may override *FD_SETSIZE* to select a smaller value before including the system header files. This is desirable for performance reasons, because of the overhead in *FD_ZERO* to zero 65534 bits. (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.a ix.basetechref/doc/basetrf2/select.htm) Sounds like you'll need to decrease the number of open file descriptors before running the make. I'd recommend setting a smaller ulimit -f (check that for AIX) in your personal profile that is much smaller than the system ulimit for file descriptors, then running the make config and make as yourself.
