problem making postgresql - Mailing list pgsql-general

I just got down the source for postgresql and ran
into a problem that's way over my head.

My sources are in postgresql-7.1.3.tar.gz
I'm running AIX 4.3.3.0

Can anyone help?

I'm including the output from configure and gmake.
If you have a clue please share it.

thanks
