Using the following system:
* IBM
[http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.pseries.doc/hardware_docs/rs6000_7025f50series.htm
RS/6000 7025 F50]
* 4 x 332 MHz 32-bit PowerPC CPUs
* 3 GB RAM
* A fair wide mixture of disks sizes (3 x 9 GB, 1 x 18 GB, 2 x 36 GB and
1 x 73 GB)
* DDS-4 tape drive
* AIX 5.3 (A POSIX certified operating system)
* gcc 4.2.4 downloaded from [http://pware.hvcc.edu/ pware]
* sage-4.6.alpha1
MPFI fails to build. The important part of the error message is:
{{{
checking for gmp.h... yes
checking for valid GMP... yes
checking for mpfr.h... yes
checking MPFR library... configure: error:
/home/users/drkirkby/sage-4.6.alpha1/local/lib/libmpfr.so or libmpfr.dylib

}}}
The extension for shared libraries on AIX is .a - not .so or .dylib.
