Heh, I got it. The only problem here was that the qpid libraries were built with 'xlC' instead of 'xlC_r', which is the exe name you should use when using threads (it uses thread safe versions of libraries or sth). After rebuild, it just started working. Interesting that there are no warnings or errors just freeze. Well, I'm glad this works now, I just have to test with a real application instead of test sample now. When I manage to build the broker too (or if I get stuck, heh) I'll let you know. I'll post patches for AIX too when everything is tested.

In the meanwhile I got an upgraded box with AIX 7.1 (on POWER CPU) and latest compiler xlc 12.1. I then built boost 1.47.0 (with some IBM patch required for xlc) and after a few more problems managed to build qpid (make all) v0.24 to the point of linking qpidd, which fails because of some undefined boost program_options symbols. I'll deal with this later, since I need the client and required libraries libqpidtypes.so, libqpidcommon.so, libqpidclient.so and libqpidmessaging.so got built OK AFAICT. So, I try to build a simple client using example from the web site, and the executable is created OK. When I run it though, it freezes at one point and stays like this indefinetly. It has to do something with connection and threads but I haven't been able to figure out the cause. I did some analysis and here are the facts: gdb output (we can see where it waits in main thread): ++++++++++++++++++ #4 0xd051d660 in pthread_cond_wait () from /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o) #5 0xd6c83cc8 in qpid::sys::Condition::wait( (qpid::sys::Mutex &)) (this=0x201b97b0, mutex=@0x201b977c: ???) at /temporar/qpid_build/qpidc-0.24/src/../include/qpid/sys/posix/Condition.h:63 #6 0xd6c83d9c in qpid::sys::Monitor::wait( (void)) (this=0x201b977c) at /temporar/qpid_build/qpidc-0.24/src/../include/qpid/sys/Monitor.h:41 #7 0xd6c83e60 in waitFor__Q3_4qpid6client12StateManagerFQ2_3std3setXTiTQ2_3std4lessXTi_TQ2_3std9allocatorXTi__ (this=0x201b9778, desired=@0x2ff21910: ???) at /temporar/qpid_build/qpidc-0.24/src/qpid/client/StateManager.cpp:51 ... ++++++++++++++++++ Specifically this is here: ++++++++++++++++++ qpid/sys/posix/Condition.h: 62 void Condition::wait(Mutex& mutex) { 63 QPID_POSIX_ASSERT_THROW_IF(pthread_cond_wait(&condition, &mutex.mutex)); // <==== 64 } ++++++++++++++++++ Qpid logs: Client log: ++++++++++++++++++ 2013-12-10 17:35:47 [Client] debug Created connection 192.168.0.142:5672 with {} 2013-12-10 17:35:47 [Client] debug Starting connection, urls=[192.168.0.142:5672] 2013-12-10 17:35:47 [Client] info Trying to connect to 192.168.0.142:5672... 2013-12-10 17:35:47 [Client] debug Created IO thread: 0 2013-12-10 17:35:47 [Network] debug TCPConnector created for 0-10 2013-12-10 17:35:47 [Client] info Set TCP_NODELAY 2013-12-10 17:35:47 [System] info Connecting: 192.168.0.142:5672 ++++++++++++++++++ Server log (this is trace level!): ++++++++++++++++++ 2013-12-11 16:41:32 [System] error Connection qpid.192.168.0.142:5672-192.168.0.135:47415 No protocol received closing ++++++++++++++++++ Netstat first shows established connection and then close_wait: ++++++++++++++++++ tcp4 0 0 192.168.0.135.47401 192.168.0.142.5672 ESTABLISHED ... tcp4 0 0 192.168.0.135.47401 192.168.0.142.5672 CLOSE_WAIT ... ++++++++++++++++++ Output of truss (similar to strace on Linuxes): ++++++++++++++++++ ... 8454278: 29950155: socket(2, 1, 0) = 5 8454278: 29950155: kioctl(5, -2147195266, 0x2FF20F10, 0x00000000) = 0 8454278: 29950155: kioctl(5, -2147195267, 0x2FF20F10, 0x00000000) = 0 8454278: 29950155: kfcntl(5, F_SETFL, 0x00000004) = 0 8454278: 29950155: getsockopt(5, 65535, 4104, 0x2FF21374, 0x2FF21370) = 0 8454278: 29950155: connext(5, 0x201FB688, 16) Err#55 EINPROGRESS 8454278: 29950155: ngetsockname(5, 0x2FF20BD0, 0x2FF210DC) = 0 8454278: 29950155: kwrite(4, " ", 1) = 1 [and then nothing] ++++++++++++++++++ Based on all this it seems that the connection get established, but then something weird is happening with the Poller thread.

Beside this I had to take ifaddrs.h and ifaddrs.cpp from somebody on samba.org list and link with it, since this is not included in AIX - I don't know if this should have any impact. Btw, this is how I built the exe: xlC_r -g -o qtmin ifaddrs.c qtest.cpp -I/temporar/qpid_build/qpidc-0.24/include -L/temporar/qpid_build/qpidc-0.24/build/src/ -lqpidcommon -lqpidmessaging -lpthreads -Wl,-brtl I really appreciate any help with this.
