Oh, BTW, I had to put a script named gcc on my path. It says this: exec /usr/local/bin/gcc -mpowerpc -maix32 -mminimal-toc "$@"

I have tried it, and the same problem occurs with that.

And it might also be interesting to see if you can now build nhc98 with your fresh ghc. A success would mean I didn't need to worry any further.

Now that is quite interesting. It appears to have *worked* being built using ghc, but not being built using gcc. The only change was to harch, changing /etc/lsattr to lsattr. Seems odd to me. Anyway, this is a build of the 1.17 snapshot and it seems to be working OK. (Though some of the features I was used to in System.Posix from ghc are missing, but that seems to be not an AIX-specific issue). I am presently uploading tarballs to my site. When complete, you will be able to download the AIX 5.1L PowerPC binDist or built source tree from: http://quux.org/devel/AIX/nhc98 Wait 1-2 hours before checking. (Sorry, this connection is slow for uploading). Feel free to copy or link to those files anywhere you like. Thank you for all your help. I appreciate it. -- John
