FWIW, I got BB up and running on AIX 4.3.1 on an old 43p; the biggest problem was getting perl to compile. Ran just fine, but about the time I went to AIX 5.1 it started to run out of gas. That's when I went to BBGEN. And then an old Dell 4300 came my way, and I installed SuSE on it.

And then I moved to hobbit, and the 43p was completely replaced for all other finctions by a Dell 2300 (also old) running SuSE 9.0. I figure on upgrading both systems to SLES 9 next month.

Yeah, my pride took one on the chin for this. It's ok, I use three AIX 5.1 BBNET servers. I decided to request an intel box and run FC4 on it. RRDTool seems to be much happier on it or Solaris.

At the time though, I had been running 4.3.3 and installed stuff from both Bull and the IBM Linux toolkit.

I spent about three weeks trying to compile all the various tools and libraries and never could get rrdtool to work. Yesterday I gave up and downloaded these binaries from Bull (a couple of them came from elsewhere, I think) and installed them. Now it works like a charm!

Python-2.1.1.0.exe cgilib-0.5.0.1.exe fping-2.2.1.0.exe freetype-2.0.1.0.exe gd-1.8.4.0.exe jpeg-6.0.2.0.exe libpng-1.0.9.0.exe rrdtool-1.0.33.0.exe tcl-8.2.3.0.exe top-3.4.0.0.exe xpm-3.4.11.0.exe zlib-1.1.4.0.exe

Of course, I still had to install GCC, Gnumake, and some other bits and pieces.

I should have given up sooner, but it was a point of pride. My pride lost. <grin>

By the way, I'm on AIX 4.3.3.
