[zeromq-dev] no valid pollers on AIX 6.1

[Mike Beddo]

Trying to build zeromq 4.1.6 on AIX 6.1. When running "configure CC=xlc CXX=xlC", configure exits with the error:

configure: Choosing polling system from 'kqueue epoll devpoll poll select'...
configure: error: None of 'kqueue epoll devpoll poll select' are valid pollers on this platform

This same distribution builds fine on AIX 7.1. We need zeromq library built for both AIX 6.1 and 7.1.

Hi,

A new poller (pollset) was added in 4.2.0 specifically for AIX, could
you please try with that version?

Kind regards,

the default poller is poll on AIX 7.1

I tried zeromq/master on our AIX 6.1 machine (note that zeromq/master builds and passes tests on AIX 7.1 now). Couldn't get past the "Choosing polling system from ..." step in configure ...

configure: Choosing polling system from 'kqueue epoll devpoll pollset poll select'...
configure: error: None of 'kqueue epoll devpoll pollset poll select' are valid pollers on this platform

I then tried "configure --with-poller=pollset" but got:

configure: Choosing polling system from 'pollset'...
configure: error: None of 'pollset' are valid pollers on this platform

Finally, I tried "configure --with-poller=poll" but got:

configure: Choosing polling system from 'poll'...
configure: error: None of 'poll' are valid pollers on this platform

sorry. We have not an AIX version 6.1.
Can you test the poll working fine on the AIX 6.1?
