Actually, the reason I started this thread is because I wanted to start making builds that used IBM's installp format for distribution rather than RPM - which is the format chosen for most of the AIX toolbox. Imho much of the difficulity the libtool devs have with the AIX platform (as generally the solution is playing with libtool, or loading a newer version) is this mixed install environment.
I have been trying to develop and package without using any of the AIX toolbox as I do not want any dependencies on it. Instead, I shall, as suggested towards the beginning of this thread, make my own packages to fulfill dependancies and/or specify IBM installp packages (i.e. libraries installed into /usr/lib and maybe /opt/lib). There are a couple of other respositories out there - my site - when I finally get it assembled - will be yet another, but with forums behind it so that people can share experiences.
