- How do I link Elm on IBM AIX?
- ! On IBM RISC 6000 AIX, 3.2 or newer, to compile Elm

- ! question. No other changes are needed.

-
- And then link bsdcc to xlc and use bsdcc instead of cc.

- In addition, Elm should be linked with the curses lib and not termcap lib
- if /etc/termcap is not there. (You can always copy the termcap database
- to etc (or make a symlink)).
