If your OS lets you install additional packages from a software repository,
you may get away with installing the missing packages. When the packages are
installed, run configure again and try to compile again. Below you find some

=head3 Build Tipps for AIX
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:
