Thanks for the very useful pointers above, David. The fact that code compiled with gcc/g++ is incompatible with the xlC linker rather makes the -c and -x options to the runConfigure script irrelevant, does it not? Anyway, this is now really a GCC-on-AIX problem rather than a xerces-c problem, so I won't take up any more bandwidth here. But just in case someone does have any last suggestions, here's what I'm getting after following David's suggestion as best I can. If anyone here has managed to compile any dynamic shared library on AIX using gcc tools, I would appreciate your comments, even if it's just to say that yes it is possible. -------------- I've modified Makefile.incl, but can't find the right combo of options to create a dynamic shared library on AIX using GNU "ld". The "-shared" option to ld is, according to the man pages, only available on "ELF, XCOFF and SunOS platforms". This matches nicely with the error message I'm getting: g++ -DAIX -shared -fPIC -Wl,-soname,libxerces-c25.so -o /home/simon/xerces-c-src_2_5_0/lib/libxerces-c25.0.so ... collect2: libxerces-c25.so: cannot open as COFF file The output of gld --help does state that "aixcoff-rs6000" is supported (the target server is AIX5.1 on rs6000). But I've tried using "--oformat aixcoff-rs6000" without success. Experiments continue.... [NB: the ld version installed is: GNU ld 2.9-aix43-010414] Cheers, and thanks for all the help.
