Pseudo-random things about netperf on AIX: While it _should_ not be necessary in the release bits, the rc bits for netperf 2.4.0 required: configure _may_ need: CFLAGS="-qcpluscmt -lperfstat" until such time as Rick Jones can figure-out or be told how to automagically add those using the configure script (hint hint :) The release bits should be OK without the above. Depending on the name used to invoke the compiler, the -qmumble option may be implicit. AIX include files have a VERY unfortuneate set of #define's in them for phrases network oriented programs are QUITE likely to have in their source - "rem_addr" and "rem_size" A "cousin" of the Netperf Contributing Editor reports this interferes with --enable-dlpi compilation and that it was also a problem for MySQL compiltion. While we await IBM's APAR with bated breath, netperf has been kludged to workaround this bug in IBM's include files. It has been reported that a "PMR" 34940,212,848 has been submitted to IBM in relation to this bug in their header files. Coutesy of Jan Krueger of TUI Infotec, Germany we have a pointer to a workaround for problems with compilation on AIX 6.1: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IV01736 when you get errors like: config.status: creating src/netperf_version.h gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -MT netlib.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/netlib.Tpo -c -o netlib.o netlib.c In file included from /usr/include/sys/corral.h:25, from /usr/include/libperfstat.h:28, from netlib.h:679, from netlib.c:166: /usr/include/netinet/in6_var.h:65: error: array type has incomplete element type
