To ensure that the ibm compiler is used rather than the configure script searchimg for gcc, you can edit the xslt Makefile: $NAWIPS/extlibs/xslt/Makefile and set the C compiler to that defined in $CONFIGDIR/Makeinc.aix by modifying the configure line to: ./configure '--prefix=$(OS_ROOT)' --disable-shared --without-debug --without-debugger '--with-libxml-prefix=$(OS_ROOT)' 'CC=$(CC)' ; \ eg, add the 'CC=$(CC)' to the ./configure invocation.
