Hi, I've searched the mailing list archive for people having problems compiling libevent on AIX. I didn't find much that I could understand. I am using AIX 5.2 and libevent 1.4.2-rc.
Here is my output of running ./configure. checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... nawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for style of include used by make...
