AIX installation question

[ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk]

AIX grep is limited as far as line length is concerned. You
will get that error (amongst others) if "which grep" shows
/usr/bin/grep.

You should install GNU grep and make sure it appears in your path
before the system-supplied grep.

It would then be best if you did a  rm -rf EMBOSS-2.6.0 and start
again from an untar of the distribution (existing .deps
directories might throw a spanner in the works even if you
reconfigured your failed source).

Finally, I've never tried GNU C under AIX, the configuration
is really designed for the xlc compiler on that system.
To pick that compiler up (assuming its installed) you should
make sure /usr/vac/bin is in your path and type:

    setenv CC xlc      (or sh equivalent)

before configuring.
