Hi,

I wanted to install and configure "Sudo" on AIX 5.3. Here is the following link which is giving some light on how to install and configure.

While going with the process, I am getting following error at the bottom.

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

It's saying the C compiler not available.

Now while checking the same on my one old AIX 4.3.3 server, I see following :-

$ oslevel -r
4330-11

$ lslpp -l | grep -i compi
idebug.engine.compiled 8.3.0.0 COMMITTED Debugger Engine for Compiled

vac.html.SBCS.search 5.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler
vac.html.en_US.search 5.0.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler

But when I see the same on my new AIX 5.3 server, it's not available. I was searching in IBM site, and found something ..


I downloaded vac.60.aix50.apr2007.ptf.tar.Z and tried installing on my AIX 5.3 and got following error.

MISSING REQUISITES: The following filesets are required by one or more
of the selected filesets listed above. They are not currently installed
and could not be found on the installation media.

vac.C 6.0.0.0 # Base Level Fileset
vac.C.readme.ibm 6.0.0.0 # Base Level Fileset
vac.msg.EN_US.C 6.0.0.0 # Base Level Fileset

Just wanted to check am I going on right direction?
If yes is that C Complier to be purchased from the vendor or that is available with IBM free.

In case of any doubt, do let me know.

Thanks
Sam
