-<h1 align=center>AIX</h1>
-<p><ol>
-<p><li><b>I can't compile and run multi-threaded applications.</b>
-<p>Special compile-time flags are required when compiling threaded
-applications on AIX. If you are compiling a threaded application,
-you must compile with the _THREAD_SAFE flag and load with specific
-libraries, e.g., "-lc_r". Specifying the compiler name with a
-trailing "_r" usually performs the right actions for the system.
-<p><blockquote><pre>xlc_r ...
-cc -D_THREAD_SAFE -lc_r ...</pre></blockquote>
-<p>The Berkeley DB library will automatically build with the correct options.

-<p><li><b>I can't run using the <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html#DB_SYSTEM_MEM">DB_SYSTEM_MEM</a> option to
-<a href="../../api_c/env_open.html">DBENV-&gt;open</a>.</b>
-<p>AIX 4.1 only allows applications to map 10 system shared memory segments.
-In AIX 4.3 this has been raised to 256K segments, but only if you set the
-environment variable "export EXTSHM=ON".
-<hr size=1 noshade>
-<p><li><b>I can't create database files larger than 1GB on AIX.</b>
-<p>Berkeley DB does not include large-file support for AIX systems by default.
-Sleepycat Software has been told that the following changes will add
-large-file support on the AIX 4.2 and later releases, but we have not
-tested them ourselves.
-<p>Add the following lines to the <b>db_config.h</b> file in your build
-directory:
-<p><blockquote><pre>#ifdef HAVE_FILE_OFFSET_BITS
-#define _LARGE_FILES /* AIX specific. */
-#endif</pre></blockquote>
-<p>Change the source code for <b>os/os_open.c</b> to always specify the
-<b>O_LARGEFILE</b> flag to the <b>open</b>(2) system call.
-<p>Recompile Berkeley DB from scratch.
-<p>Note that the documentation for the IBM Visual Age compiler states that
-it does not not support the 64-bit filesystem APIs necessary for creating
-large files, and that the ibmcxx product must be used instead. We have
-not heard if the GNU gcc compiler supports the 64-bit APIs or not.
-<p>Finally, to create large files under AIX, the filesystem has to be
-configured to support large files and the system wide user hard-limit for
-file sizes has to be greater than 1GB.
