Problems compiling GDB on AIX

Problems compiling GDB on AIX

[Ivan Popivanov]

No problems compiling gdb-6.0, however, when I try to compile anything 
newer I get from "make install" the error I pasted at the end of this 
message. Note that I don't have root account and I compiled and 
installed make, libtool and few other utilities under $HOME/installs.

I saw a thread saying that gdb-6.3 is broken on non GNU platforms 
because gettext is not installed. My question is how can I install 
gettext without being root? I mean I can compile and install it in 
$HOME/installs, but how to make the headers and the libraries available 
when GDB is building?

Thanks in advance!
Ivan

Try using an absolute path to the configure script, instead of '.'. 
This is fixed in CVS.
