Shall do. I thought a VM or local build might be the only way, and I hope not much has changes in AIX from 4.1 to 5.1. Dependency chasing is going to be the hardest part, really. I'm not sure how compatible Yesod and ghc-6.4 will be with one another. Perhaps I'll make a project of it. The environment has most of the necessary build tools, as far as I can see, so I can probably pull it off as long as I play nicely. There wouldn't happen to be a way to get a gcc config/makefile combo out of a Yesod project, would there? :D

It appears that there is GHC for AIX[1]. I think your best bet is to set up a local system or virtual machine running AIX, build your executables there and then distribute to the server. Though I'm not sure how easy it is to get a virtual machine set up with AIX. I'd be interested to hear how this goes, please keep us posted.

I'd like to put a small Yesod application on my university webspace, but they're on AIX 4.1, while I'm on OS X.6. Can I build for their architecture (it's gotta be PPC or i386, I think) from where I am, or am I going to need to look for some other way around the issue?
