[Samba] Samba 3.0.11 on AIX 4.3

[Ayotunde Itayemi]

Hi All,
 
Pls has anyone successfully installed Samba 3 on an AIX 4.3 (RS6000) 
system? The only precompiled binary I was able to find - v 3.0.4 from
bullfreeware.com did not work after installation. I haven't been
successful 
trying to install it from source. I have downloaded various requisite 
programs such as kerberos (which won't compile either) and openldap.

I am particularly interested in Samba's ability to join a Windows2K 
domain and its ACLs capabilities.
Pls any help would be appreciated.

Below is a mail I sent to someone about my "experience" installing from
source. Thanks.
 
Hi,
 
I have spent a couple of days trying to install Keberos 5 and Samba 
3.0.11 on an AIX 4.3 (RS6000) system. It just refuses to install!

I have tried all sorts of things. First, it (kerberos) kept complaining 
about not being able to determine some thread stuff, I got past that by 
using the --disable-thread option.
Then configure goes through, but "make" crashes out.
I was partially successful by installing GNU bison, and GNU binutils, 
now it goes much further before crashing out. I have included the 
tail end of the message below. I noticed that make had made quite 
a  few of the kerberos program binaries, so I went ahead and did 
a "make install".
That installed some of the binaries and then bombed out too! I 
tried to run kinit anyway and got "Illegal instruction (core dumped)"
Bison 2.0 didn't work so I tried version 1.30 as suggested on the Net 
by someone experiencing the YACC's "shift" error for some other program 
he was trying to compile. I had some luck with version 1.30
 
Any ideas please? Samba won't successfully compile either. I couldn't 
locate any configure option that turns off threading in its case.
 
I have also tried GNU make, but that bombed out almost immediately 
with some message about output file not specified or so.
 
Openldap wouldn't compile either, but I was able to get a precompiled 
binary version which I just extracted out.
 
Thanks.
Tunde Itayemi.

The error I got after the installation of v 3.0.4 when I tried to start 
the executables was (:

The error changed slightly after I extracted a precompiled version of 
openldap (openldap.2.2.21.tar) to:
