hi Peter,

is/was "." in your $PATH? that could be the cause of this..

would you be able to send me the output of running
"sh -x ./bootstrap" on this system?

this sounds like configure is being called with the wrong
arguments for some reason. you can get some debug output by running
eg. "bmake configure PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2" to see exactly what's going
on.

what is the output of
"bmake show-vars VARNAMES='CONFIGURE_ARGS CONFIGURE_ENV'" ?

I can help debug things, but you'll be on your own to some extent, as
I don't have access to an AIX machine.

grant.
