I tried compiling on AIX 4.3 system instead after updating the GCC
compiler, all X11 libraries and include files. The compile finally
(including tclX) went without a hitch.

Only problem is, whether using wish8.4 or wishx, absolutely no widgets
respond to the cursor or mouse buttons. This may have some impact on the
  usability of the application.

Is anyone out there in AIXLand (30% of UNIX market) using Tk?
