now that you're done spewing coffee all over the monitor...

any major gotchas like:
  • big endian -> little endian
  • libraries vs. shared objects
  • oracle interfacing (9.0 & up)
  • pthreads / mutex thread locking (not a showstopper; just nice to know when i have to wrap all of it later)

You're posting this Ridemonkey?!?

It is an interesting question, however. Are you plan on moving to AIX 5L, the Linux version of AIX? And if your apps are compiled previously, I doubt they would work...

i've been all over slashdot, & haven't found a thing

not going to 5L, but straight AIX 5.2 (not my choice); yeah, i know they won't run as compiled, i'm wondering if i'll have to make major changes (i'm using f77, but really want to use gcc to build)

thanks.
