collect2:
is the ld (linker) telling you it cannot find a library file: libgcc_s.

Most library files live in /lib. Your system may have libgcc_s somewhere else, or not at all.
try to find it:
Code:
find / -type f  -name 'libgcc_s*'

If it shows up try placing a copy ( or a symlink to the library file) in /lib. Otherwise you will have to install the correct version of the library for your distribution and architecture.

Thanks Jim,
Thats correct the libgcc_s is not find on my system.
Please help me how to install this.
But i can find the gcc is available on my system.

AIX has lots of interesting things compared to some other unix flavors. I'm moving the thread to the AIX forum.

Hi.

I use aix 5.1 (but not often). I downloaded the expat compressed tarball from sourceforge, unpacked it, and ran:
Code:
./configure
make

and the last 2 lines in the make output were:
Code:
        /bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I./lib -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -fexceptions  -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H  -o xmlwf/xmlwf xmlwf/xmlwf.o xmlwf/xmlfile.o xmlwf/codepage.o xmlwf/readfilemap.o libexpat.la
Target "default" is up to date.

the version of gcc is:
Code:
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0
Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/opt/freeware --enable-threads --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --host=powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0
Thread model: aix
gcc version 4.0.0

I also ran the command:
Code:
$ find / -name libgcc_s -print 2>/dev/null

and there is no such file on that system, either.

This may not solve your problem, but on at least one aix 5.1 system, expat can be created.

Good luck ... cheers, drl

I often encountered problems compiling Open Source stuff on AIX since sadly IBM and Bull do not offer new compiled programs.
Last ressort for such stuff and many thanks to Michael Perzl:

Hi.

While reviewing my post, I saw that I should have used a more general find pattern. When I used:
Code:
$ find / -name '*libgcc_s*' -print 2>/dev/null

it returned the path:
Code:
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/4.0.0/libgcc_s.a

I don't know if that file was used, but at least it is present.

If it is of interest, running the command on Debian produces a number of hits, one of which is:
Code:
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

which has the characteristics:
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93016 Jan  2  2009 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

Long ago, I worked at a center that had AIX running on 3090 mainframes (I think I recall that correctly).

The note from zaxxon reminded me that we often said that aix really stood for ain't unix (uncharitable of us perhaps, but it seemed to be often true) ... cheers, drl
