Autobahn on AIX

[malibu1966]

Hi there, I'm trying to build autobahn on AIX. I have some agents that 'could' communicate without autobahn but it would be a lot more elegant if they could.

The autobahn install was going well but it fails when building something called 'maturin' because it seems that the module needs a rust compiler... and there is no rust compiler for AIX from what I read.

Is there any way to get the rust out of Autobahn? Thanks. Here is the message I am getting whether I try building crossbar or try pip installing autobahn:

    If you are using an outdated pip version, it is possible a prebuilt wheel is available for this package but pip is not able to install from it. Installing from the wheel would avoid the need for a Rust compiler.

    To update pip, run:

        pip install --upgrade pip

    and then retry package installation.

    If you did intend to build this package from source, try installing a Rust compiler from your system package manager and ensure it is on the PATH during installation. Alternatively, rustup (available at https://rustup.rs) is the recommended way to download and update the Rust compiler toolchain.

    note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I'm trying to build autobahn on AIX. .. Is there any way to get the rust out of Autobahn?

oh, that is unexpected in multiple ways;) I mean, the word "AIX" alone. happens not that often these days, and it means (my bet/guess): the context you are working in has "special needs" - for good reasons usually.

I grew up on Sun (R.I.P.), and HP-UX and stuff, sadly, never worked on VMS/VAX though, but the years fly by anyways.

now rgd your question: I am sure I can make it work (Autobahn on AIX, with or without Rust), and my needs are "not special" - as in, pay bills, looking for a 100% remote job currently. if you want / are interested, pls send me a private message!

Not sure how?
