error message when running ./configure for ssh

[redsydus]

Hello all,

I'm desperately trying to install ssh onto an AIX 4.3 system.
I downloaded gcc-2.95.1 from sunfreeware.com and installed it.
However whenever I run configure for ssh 3.7, it stops with the following message:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

When I look into the config.log file, I find a bit more info:

configure:1346: checking for C compiler default output
configure:1349: gcc conftest.c >&5
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
configure:1352: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
#line 1330 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
configure:1375: error: C compiler cannot create executable.

Does anyone know what I can do to solve this?

Thanks in advance !

easier way is to use IBM's release or Darren Trucker's release:

did you downloaded GCC fron sunfreeware.com? those are for Sun Solaris...

"I downloaded gcc-2.95.1 from sunfreeware.com..."

This was probably developed specifically for a Solaris installation. OpenSSH will compile successfully on AIX 4.3.3 without errors, so get it from openssh.org or it should be on the Bull software download site or the UCLA Public Domain Software Library for AIX.
