I got past the first error, by setting the command line to be larger on AIX, but now I get some other weird error: configure: configuring in doc configure: running /bin/sh '../.././gdb/doc/configure' --prefix=/net/bosnetapp/vol/vol0/home1/jamarsha/aix/build '--cache-file=./config.cache' '--prefix=/net/bosnetapp/vol/vol0/home1/jamarsha/aix/build' '--program-transform-name=s,y,y,' '--build=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' '--host=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' '--target=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' '--srcdir=.././gdb' 'CC=gcc' 'CFLAGS=-g -O2' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bbigtoc' 'build_alias=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' 'host_alias=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' 'target_alias=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=../.././gdb/doc configure: loading cache .././config.cache checking for a BSD-compatible install... /net/bosnetapp/vol/vol0/home1/jamarsha/aix/gdb-6.8/install-sh -c checking whether ln -s works... yes configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating .gdbinit config.status: error: cannot find input file: gdbinit.in configure: error: /bin/sh '../.././gdb/doc/configure' failed for doc gmake[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/net/bosnetapp/vol/vol0/home1/jamarsha/aix/gdb-6.8' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 > find . -name gdbinit.in ./sim/common/gdbinit.in ./gdb/gdbinit.in I will try moving it to '/tmp' and see if that makes a difference.
