AIX 5.2 compile help: minimum config?

AIX 5.2 compile help: minimum config?

[tph]

I am trying to compile emacs 21.3  on an AIX 5.2 ML04 system.
Can someone suggest a minimum configuration (parameters to the configure 
script) that will give me a basic emacs, without X support? 

Is there a reason I will not be able to do this with gcc version 2.9?

Also, I tried to install emacs from the UCLA PDS library and got this 
error doing a 'smitty install'

emacs-21.1-2 

The following errors occurred during installation:
error: failed dependencies:
        libXaw3d.a(shr.o) is needed by emacs-X11-21.1-2
        libjpeg.a(libjpeg.so.62) is needed by emacs-X11-21.1-2
        libpng.a(libpng.so.3) is needed by emacs-X11-21.1-2
        libtiff.a(shr.o) is needed by emacs-X11-21.1-2
        libungif.a(libungif.so.4) is needed by emacs-X11-21.1-2

In what fileset would I find these files?

Thanks.

you can probably figure out something yourself, given the output
of running the command:

  ./configure --help

it's a good idea to check this for any package you wish to build
and install (including emacs), since the configurability of the
package may have changed since you last tried it.

I do not know enough about AIX 5.2 and its filesets, but these messages 
mean that the configure script as invoked by SMIT with many '--with- 
options' could not find the shared libraries for the X11 extension 
Xaw3d (Athena widgets with a 3 d look) and graphics 
libraries/extensions JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and GIF. Beside the shared 
libraries you'll need the C header files too.

To avoid this failing dependancy check and their installation, you can 
invoke configure with these:

	--without-jpeg --without-png --without-tiff --without-gif

To avoid libXaw3d this might help: --with-x-toolkit=motif


Is there no more up-to-date version of GNU Emacs available on AIX 5.2? 
The recent version is 21.4 ...
