We have xlc version 5 under AIX 5.1. So I also decided to try this compiler instead of gcc 2.9. However, there does not appear to be an option similar to "-with-cc=" in ./configure --help for changing compilers. Hence I set up alias gcc='/usr/vac/bin/xlc' such that $ gcc -v
exec: /usr/bin/pg(/usr/bin/pg,/usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US/vacpp.help,NULL)   VisualAge C++ Professional / C for AIX Compiler, Version 5

I then ran "./configure --prefix=./ --with-pty=pts" followed by "/usr/ccs/bin/make" and the output displayed is identical (see below).

The problem might be that ssh is continuing to use gcc instead of xlc inspite of the alias? If that is the case, then are any suggestions on how to force ssh to use xlc? Thanks!
