Strange -  I had no problems compiling on AIX 4.3.2 or AIX 4.1.4

I do know you can't just "make" you need to specifiy "make all" with the
AIX make as other wise it litterally makes all - it compiles , cleans
and then tries to install (which it can't since the clean deletaed the
binaries).

But if I use Make all it matches in the Makefile and compiles fine.
NOTE: you do not need any of those odd links used in Linux that are
listed in the INSTALL file.  If you create those links you could get
errors.

About the only thing I can think you might need to change is the probe
script I think it was set up for AIX 4.2 and that may cause problems
since your uname wont match
