AIX shared libraries: 1) Are closer to windows dll's than *ix .so's - unsurprising given that Windows shares a heritage with OS/2, and both OS/2 and AIX are from IBM. 2) A .a can hold both 32 bit and 64 bit objects. 3) If you have a .a with 32 objects in it, and try to link against it in 64 bit mode, the file is sort of there and sort of not - ls will see it, but the linker will not. 4) 32 bit libraries suffer from a loader domain issue - the first part of $LIBPATH optionally specifies a loader domain, which is a namespace into which shared libraries are loaded 5) 64 bit libraries are supposed to be cleaner than 32 bit 6) Make sure that if you're building for 64 bit (for example) that ld is doing the same when it's called from collect2 or whatever. 7) You can test what kind of shared library you're looking at (and sometimes .a's are _shared_ on AIX - yes, it's weird, yes, it's true) with ar -X - see the man page for more.

Issues compiling 2.6.5 on AIX 6.1
I've seen other threads on this issue, but the resolution still doesn't seem to exist for me. I'm running the configure script with these parameters: ./configure --prefix=/build/tools \ --exec-prefix=/build/tools \ --enable-shared \ --enable-ipv6 \ --with-gcc \ --with-pth I also want to state that I already edited all of the configure config.guess scripts to comprehend AIX6.1 (they're not updated yet). And as you can see, I'm running this using the -with-gcc option. The configure seems to have no problems; so I run a: make clean make This results in a completed compile. If I go back and look I see a lot of this: building '_struct' extension gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I/build/tools/src/Python-2.6.5/./Include -I/build/tools/include -I. -IInclude -I./Include -I/usr/local/include -I/build/tools/src/Python-2.6.5/Include -I/build/tools/src/Python-2.6.5 -c /build/tools/src/Python-2.6.5/Modules/_struct.c -o build/temp.aix-6.1-2.6/build/tools/src/Python-2.6.5/Modules/_struct.o ./Modules/ld_so_aix gcc -pthread -bI:Modules/python.exp build/temp.aix-6.1-2.6/build/tools/src/Python-2.6.5/Modules/_struct.o -L/build/tools/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.aix-6.1-2.6/_struct.so collect2: library libpython2.6 not found Notice that it can't find the Python lib.. well, it's not installed yet.

RE: Issues compiling 2.6.5 on AIX 6.1
These are good points, but I've fixed the configure config.guess on about 10 other OSS projects that I needed to compile on this machine. So I know that my changes are correct. The changes boil down to: There are a number of lines in the files that reference AIX versions for configuring details about the system. Specifically, it'll be if or case statements that look like: *-ibm-aix5*) *aix4*|*aix5*) I just add the aix6 clause: *-ibm-aix5* | *-ibm-aix6*) *aix4*|*aix5*|*aix6*) As Aix6 is binary compatible with 5, but the configure defaults it to an unknown AIX version and completely mis-configures the compiler. As for using the autoconf tool for my system, I'm not really sure if it's even installed or if the latest autoconf supports this version. Oddly enough I'm not the sys admin, but I do play one on TV. I do want to stick with Python 2.6 if I can, but I will give compiling 2.7 a shot to see what, if anything, changes/is fixed.

I just wanted to follow up my previous email: I tried compiling 2.7 (without editing any config.guess or configure files as they are up to date for AIX6) and it failed with the exact same errors.
