RE: [GENERAL] RE: [PORTS] AIX-4.2.1 binaries ? more info. PLEASE !

Well, after a 'make distclean' and a ./configure, the gettimeofday() error
went away. Infact, the ./configure showed that gettimeofday() neeeded two
arguments. BUT, the compilation error is still there and I'm still hoping
that some expert should be able to help me get through this.

./configure --with-template=aix_42 :
--------------------------------------
gmake -C libpq all
gmake[2]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/src/postgresql-6.3.2/src/backend/libpq'

Thanks and still waiting for some help.
