RE: Problem running gnu tools on AIX

["Venkatakrishnan, V" <V dot Venkatakrishnan at channels dot usa dot xerox dot com>]

The reason why I used "make" is coz. I downloaded make.3.79.1.tar.z from
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/filetools/makenew.html and when I
uncompressed this I got the "make" executable in my /usr/local/bin, which I
assumed would work fine with my makefile.
This is how I did them on cygwin and on my Solaris 8 box.  I simly used the
same command "make" never used "gmake".

I feel this might be coz. of a version mismatch between the tools and the
version of my AIX OS.  Still fishing for the "version" command for AIX.
Any help would be appreciated.

i don't know the answer to your version question, but i noticed you used the

command "make" and not "gmake"

double check that the make command in your path points to the gmake. the 
other suggestion i have is to remake gmake as if you have no make. i had to 
add the gmake path to get it for the hpux system i'm using as well as to 
make the gmake as if i had no make since the hpux inherent make is screwy.
