[ibm-aix-l] Re: Does gcc and glibc work on AIX 5.3? <-- and installing nagios with gcc??

[Andreas Ericsson]

This is a problem with your system's header-files. For some reason, the 
types required for pthread.h to compile cleanly aren't included, so you 
get a parse error because the compiler doesn't know the size of the type 
referenced.

In short; It's not a nagios issue, but rather one derived from the AIX C 
libraries header-files.
