we have a development AIX 5.3 on PowerPC CPU having the standard CC compiler. I downloaded the gcc 4.2.4, unpacked it and tried to install
it seems there is something missing; untar takes around 15 minutes and ends with an error trying to create a directory starting with @ sign.
and in the gcc folder itself, I can't find a configure or a Makefile to install
any hint on how to do so?
Further update, I got version 4.3.5 and got the same error on the same location when running tar xvf gcc-4.3.5.tar
x gcc-4.3.5/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/25_algorithms/stable_partition/requirements/explicit_instantiation
tar: 0511-188 Cannot create ././@LongLink: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
x gcc-4.3.5/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/25_algorithms/stable_partition/requirements/explicit_instantiation
tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; -241274376 not equal to 42619.
please note that this error happened on two different tar files, both were originally compressed as bz2

Quick search on google reveals that there are some pre-made packages for AIX - gcc 4.2.x and various other tools from GNU world...
