hmm... On my system, I have /usr/include/float.h, which defines FLT_MAX,
and sets it to 3.4028234663852886e+38F. I've tried messing around with the
gdchart.h to adjust for this (set MAXFLOAT = FLT_MAX, hardcode the value,
etc.), but haven't had any luck yet. Also, looking at the error message
again, I still think it has something to do with that out_graph function.
I don't know, though, I'm certainly not a developer.

This is one of the other compile/portability errors that I ran into.
gdchart.h is looking for MAXFLOAT. Unfortunately, in AIX that
constant is in float.h which is not being included anywhere in the
current incarnation. Even if you do include that header file, you will
then run into the problem that the gdchart.h header file wants to
do a #define using a value of -MAXFLOAT (negative MAXFLOAT).
Unfortunately, in AIX this does not yield the same value as what
the gdchart programmer intended so you will have to take a guess
as to what he intended (possibly use MINFLOAT?).
