Description Keith 2005-09-27 02:52:01 AEST

When trying to install ssh, I get the following error even after installing the 
C-compiler libc AIX filesets:

[root@training /tmp/openssh-4.2p1] ./configure
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

There is nothing in the config.log that shows any additional information.  This 
is being installed on AIX version 5200-03.

Have you installed a C compiler and if so, which one?  AIX doesn't come with
one, it's an extra-price option (xlc, vac) or a third-party package (gcc).

I was able to successfully install the xlc filesets, but the 4.2 version would 
still not install...same error.  I then tried installing openssh 4.1 version 
from a different(IBM link) and it was successfull, creating all directories, 
installing components, etc.

Thanks Darren!
