Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Anyone with success on AIX 5L?

Hi Les,

i`m not an AIX expert, but i have read several times that AIX 5L has sort of 
a "Linux compatibility layer".

So - maybe you should take a look at the "AIX Toolbox for Linux 
Applications" at http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/

There is also a Sourceforge Project and an Mailinglist which should offer 
better help for questions like this.
