+=head3 Build Tipps for AIX
+
If you are woking with AIX, you may find the the B<--disable-shared> option
will cause things to break for you. In that case you may have to install the
shared libraries into the rrdtool PREFIX and work with B<--disable-static>

+Another hint to get rrdtool working on AIX is to use the IBM XL C Compiler:
+
+ export CC=/usr/vac/bin/cc
+ export PERLCC=$CC

+=head2 Building Libraries
+
+In order to build the libraries you need a compiler on your system.
+Unfortunately compilers are not all alike. This has an effect on the CFLAGS
+you want to set. The examples below are for the popular GCC compiler suite.
+If you have an other compile you have to use the following settings:
=over
=over
+=item Sun Forte
+
+ CFLAGS="-xO3 -kPIC"
+
+=back
+
+=over
+
+Some libraries want to know where other libraries are. For this to work,
+set the following environamen variable
+
+ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALLDIR}/lib/pkgconfig
+
+or in tcsh
+
+ setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH ${INSTALLDIR}/lib/pkgconfig
