Description Patrick McCafferty 2005-08-16 17:48:30 UTC 
Trying to install Tomcat 5.0.28 on AIX 5.2 with Java 1.4 but get this error 
message:

configure: error: Unsupported operating system "aix5.2.0.0"
Comment 1 Yoav Shapira 2005-10-13 05:43:54 UTC 
How are you trying to install it?  For installing Tomcat itself, there is no
configure script, only exploding a .tar.gz or .zip file.  (And JDK 1.4 is
supported).
Comment 2 Ron Hurley 2005-11-14 14:05:56 UTC 
We are experiencing the same problem.  On AIX, the installation requires us to 
run a configure script, unlike some other installations.

During this script, it errors out and does not create the make files needed in 
the rest of the install.

Here is a <snip> of the failure we have seen on our AIX server.

$ ./configure --with-java=/usr/java14

So, what would the resolution be for AIX 5.2?
