+=head3 Build Tipps for AIX
+
+If you are woking with AIX, you may find the the B<--disable-shared> option
+will cause things to break for you. In that case you may have to install the
+shared libraries into the rrdtool PREFIX and work with B<--disable-static>
+instead.
+
+Another hint to get rrdtool working on AIX is to use the IBM XL C Compiler:
+
+ export CC=/usr/vac/bin/cc
+ export PERLCC=$CC
+
+(Better instructions for AIX welcome!)
+
+=head2 Building Libraries
+
+In order to build the libraries you need a compiler on your system.
+Unfortunately compilers are not all alike. This has an effect on the CFLAGS
+you want to set. The examples below are for the popular GCC compiler suite.
+If you have an other compile you have to use the following settings:
