Hi. Thanks for the answer.
AIX does not have pkg-config "standard". There is a version you can
download from IBM (AIX Toolbox) in RPM format, but those tend to be "old".
I hear the main reason for not updating quickly is bedded in legal concerns.
fyi - pkg-config new version is not a simple build. Has a dependency on a
library and the embedded version does not compile with the IBM compiler.
Feels like there is a dependency on gcc. I have not had the time to build a
load a new sandbox to test that.
Maybe this week.
