AIX Makefile Problem

Hi!
I have been using a downloaded XML parser (a static library) on the AIX platform.
Apparently, there is something wrong with it.
So I decided to get the sources and compile and use the object files instead.
The set up comes with a runConfigure script which asks you for details like OS, C compiler, C++ compiler, etc and it generates a set of Makefiles to compile the XML sources on the AIX.
I dont think they have tested this at all, because the generated Makefiles do not parse thru. They get stuck at these kinds of statements...

ifeq (${SYSOVR},OS400)
PLATFORM = OS400
endif

These statements work on Solaris but not on AIX. Does anyone know how to correct this for AIX?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
Aps

You need gnu make (gmake)
