problem in running test suite in AIX

Hi,
I am trying to run the BDB test suite in AIX5.3.
BDB version used is DB-4.3.28

I configured BDB build with following options
--enable-cxx --enable-debug --enable-diagnostic --enable-tcl
--enable-test --with-tcl=/usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib/

I am using ActiveTcl release for AIX

After building, in the tclsh prompt

tclsh> source ../test/test.tcl

After this a core dump is encountered.

The stack of core dump is

Db_tcl_Init(??), line 82 in "tcl_db_pkg.c"
Tcl_LoadObjCmd() at 0x2006959c
TclEvalObjvInternal() at 0x2001887c
Tcl_EvalEx() at 0x2001aa58
Tcl_FSEvalFile() at 0x20044e14
Tcl_SourceObjCmd() at 0x20076ad0
TclEvalObjvInternal() at 0x2001887c
TclExecuteByteCode() at 0x2002e300
TclCompEvalObj() at 0x20033bc8
Tcl_EvalObjEx() at 0x2001a534
Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj() at 0x2006cf8c
Tcl_Main() at 0x2006cb2c
main() at 0x10000338

But the test suite runs fine in Linux and windows.
Please help.

Regards,
Kiran

I am afraid I don't have an AIX box to test on at the moment. The
configure command used when running the tcl tests internally on AIX
was:

.../dist/configure --enable-dynamic --enable-debug
--with-tcl=/usr/local/lib --enable-test --enable-diagnostic

The tests were run using a compiled version of Tcl 8.3.0 configured
with
../configure --enable-static
I am not aware of testing done with ActiveTcl.

Could you try configuring Berkeley DB with the additional flag?
If that does not work the problem could be with your tcl library - and
changing to a library built on your system could resolve the problem.

Alex
