Re: Probs using compile-command on Aix

Aha.  Looks like AIX has "sys/pty.h" rather than "pty.h".  The changes to
configure and src/pty.c look pretty simple:

diff -c jed-0.99-18.orig/configure jed-0.99-18/configure
*** jed-0.99-18.orig/configure  Mon Feb 13 11:51:58 2006

  as_ac_Header=`echo "ac_cv_header_$ac_header" | $as_tr_sh`

  #endif

  static int pty_setup_slave_term (int slave, int raw)


I'm still in the process of testing these, but independent confirmation
would be a good thing.
