It looks like Tcl/Tk and some of the other support libs have
been ported to AIX, but you may be in for a bit of hacking
to get it all working. It is not a platform we have done
any testing on recently. You might want to see if gcc is
available on your platform, it might save you some work.

We provide binaries for a few systems, but for the most part
you have to compile from source on the less widely used
systems.

In the future, please don't post notes to the list with these
