Tim,

Thank you for your quick response.  I have already tried the 
--disable-shared without success.  By the way I was using libtool 
version 1.3.5, and have downloaded libtool version 1.4 and started 
building again.  I will keep you posted if you are interested.

Regards,

Greg

I've downloaded 4.0.3 for build testing here, but haven't gotten to 
looking
at it yet.

What version of libtool is it using?  I ask because libtool libraries on
AIX often have weird dependency problems.  I think a lot of that is
much-improved in libtool 1.4.x, but I don't know -- it's been a while 
since
I've played with it on AIX, though I plan to "soon".

My recommendation is that you try building rpm on AIX using the

	--disable-shared

argument to configure, and see if that changes anything.  This is just a
shot in the dark, though -- the problem could be somewhere else 
entirely.
