I don't know what your doing wrong but we've been using CAP from 3.1.1 to 3.1.4 and I see no reason why it will stop working for 3.1.5 . I ported CAP originally with very few changes and the next version supported RS6000 boxes anyway. Sounds like your using the wrong flags to cc or something. >Has anyone sucessfully ported CAP 6.0 to AIX3.1.5?
