[Pw_forum] compile GIPAW on aix

[Ari P Seitsonen]

Dear Giuseppe,

   Adding to Axel's answer:

# ibm01 (~) : which sed
# /opt/freeware/bin/sed
# ibm01 (~) : whereis sed
# sed: /usr/bin/sed

The former one, provided at least on some IBM AIX PowerX systems, contains 
the version of make/sed/etc employing the GNU-like syntax, the latter one 
are defaults from the AIX and have often different options. You can check 
if the /opt/freeware exists on your machine and put it in your 
variable PATH before the /usr/bin/ or /bin/.

   Just my experience...

     Greetings from Zurich,
