Hi, I'm trying to compile libxml2 because I need it for GNUstep. I'm on a AIX 5.2 machine with gcc 3.3.2 and gnumake 3.79.1 . I have the same problem with versions: libxml2 2.6.10 and 2.6.12 . ./configure gmake all .... gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./include -I./include -D_REENTRANT -g -O2-Wall -MT nanoftp.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/nanoftp.Tpo -c nanoftp.c -DPIC -o .libs/nanoftp.o nanoftp.c: In function `xmlNanoFTPGetConnection': nanoftp.c:1558: error: structure has no member named `ss_family' nanoftp.c:1577: error: structure has no member named `ss_family' nanoftp.c:1608: error: structure has no member named `ss_family' nanoftp.c:1645: error: structure has no member named `ss_family' nanoftp.c:1664: error: structure has no member named `ss_family' gmake[2]: *** [nanoftp.lo] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/users2/reixt/Pajé/libxml2-2.6.10' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/users2/reixt/Pajé/libxml2-2.6.10' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 ./configure said : checking build system type... powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 checking host system type... powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... nawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

configure --disable-ipv6 depending on the version of AIX this sometime fails or passes, no idea why and I don't have ways to debug and reproduce the configure tests on that system If you have a working patch send it otherwise, WONTFIX. Daniel
Created attachment 33511 [details] [review] Fix for __ss_family instead of ss_family Attached is a possible fix for this problem. It probes for __ss_family and if found, redefines ss_family to __ss_family. Based on a fix in Jabber by Albert Chin. http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/jadmin/2004-May/016023.html
