compilation problem of python on AIX 6.1

[Amit]

Hello

I want to intsall python on my AIX 6.1 Box.
I couldn't get any rpm for python 2.5.x for AIX 6.1.

THen I decided to compile python 2.5.4 on my AIX box. I downloaded the
python source code from www.python.org and tried to compile on my AIX
both using gcc.

step 1 ./configure --with-gcc
configuration runs successfully

step 2 make
it gives me error

case $MAKEFLAGS in *-s*) CC='gcc -pthread' LDSHARED='./Modules/
ld_so_aix gcc -pthread -bI:Modules/python.exp' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -

This looks like a generic AIX compilation error finding system libraries;
you probably will get better results from asking on an AIX forum.
