Sorry for the delay. You didn't scare me away, but I was trying to see
what might be special about the machines I have access to and about
their setup.
So a first result:
There are two machines, one with AIX-5.1 which has due to compatibility
reasons the AIX-compilers of version 6. On this machine I tested the
binary and it didn't work, certainly because of the old libraries. The
other is with AIX-5.3 and has compilers of version 8.
I checked out the cvs-version yesterday (cmake-2.7.20080326). This
compiled on the newer without problems. However, running the test
resulted in 3 failures:
97% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 90

The following tests FAILED:
          56 - SimpleInstall-Stage2 (Failed)
          84 - BootstrapTest (Failed)
          85 - Fortran (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

I don't know what caused the failures or where to look for it. On the
older implementation the compilation failed at a rather early stage. I
put in the first three errors as an indication:
"/afs/ipp/home/g/geiger/cmake-2.7.20080326/Source/kwsys/testAutoPtr.cxx",
line 119.53: 1540-0295 (S) A parameter of type "cmsys::auto_ptr<A>"
cannot be initialized with an rvalue of type "cmsys::auto_ptr<A>".
"/afs/ipp/home/g/geiger/cmake-2.7.20080326/Source/kwsys/testAutoPtr.cxx",
line 119.53: 1540-0218 (I) The call does not match any parameter list
for "auto_ptr<A>::auto_ptr<A>".
"/afs/ipp/home/g/geiger/build_cmake-2.7_rsaix51/Source/cmsys/auto_ptr.hxx",
line 81.3: 1540-1283 (I) "cmsys::auto_ptr<struct
A>::auto_ptr(auto_ptr<A> &)" is not a viable candidate.

I am currently doing some testing on the AIX-5.3-system with some
projects, mixed c and fortran, using cmake-2.7, but I have some problems
to get cmake to accept the fortran compiler flag -qrealsize=8.

Best regards,
Joachim
