Re: [Boost-users] Building boost on AIX with GCC -- pthread problems

Hi -

I'm trying to build boost on an AIX box using GCC, and am having pthread issues.

In particular:

[...]

/usr/include/pthread.h:554: error: `pthread_rwlock_t' was not declared in this scope /usr/include/pthread.h:554: error: parse error before `)' token [... lots more pthread problems of this sort ...]

That's odd, it basically can't compile <pthread.h> for some reason. The current CVS might sidestep the problem with shared_ptr, because it looks like you are on a PowerPC, and shared_ptr now has a g++/PPC specific version that doesn't need locks. But anything else that depends on <pthread.h> will still fail.
