[Vis5d-users] compiling vis5d+-1.3.0 under AIX 5.1

I have been asked to build Vis5D+ on our AIX 5.1 system, and I'm not
having any luck with it.  The configure script right away told me I
needed to install Mesa, so I tried to build this with no luck (I need
to write the Mesa email list for info on this).

I found a precompiled Mesa library for AIX 5.1, so I downloaded this
instead. But, the Vis5D README files didn't indicate where the Mesa
libraries needed to reside.  It looks like it's just doing a "-lGLU
..." and hoping that they reside in a standard location, like
/usr/lib. Also, it didn't indicate if you somehow need to work around
the issue of the proper names for the Mesa libraries (-lMesaGL or
-lGL), but I assume it just tries both.

Anyway, I modified the configure script and forced a "-L/.../..." in
front of the Mesa library (-lGL) so it would find it.  It still didn't
get very far.  Here's the pertinent part from the config.log file:

configure:14725: cc -o conftest -O3 -w    conftest.c -L/fs/scd/home1/ncargd/test/local/src/vis5d+-1.3.0-beta/lib -lGL   -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11  -lm  >&5

ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_setspecific
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.

Lastly, the README files don't indicate if this should all be
happening in 32-bit or 64-bit mode.  I'm doing 32-bit mode right now
(setenv OBJECT_MODE 32) because that's what the precompiled Mesa
libraries were available in.

Has anybody had luck with building Vis5D+ under AIX, and if so, would
they be willing to impart their wisdom on this subject?

Many thanks,
