* 4 x 332 MHz 32-bit PowerPC CPUs
* 3 GB RAM
* A fairly 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
== The problem ==
Flint builds ok (see attached log), but the shared library has the wrong
extension.
{{{
-bash-4.1$ ls local/lib/*flint*
local/lib/libflint.so
-bash-4.1$ file local/lib/libflint.so
local/lib/libflint.so: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not
stripped
}}}
This is not normal on AIX, where the extension for both shared and archive
libraries should be {{{.a}}} and not {{{.so}}}. See
