There shouldn't be anything special about AIX, unless you have ancient build 
tools.  It's guaranteed to work with GNU, or your money back.

I know what you mean.

We have brief PHP instructions in the User Guide.  Make sure your basic 
connectivity is working -- with tsql, or isql if you're using ODBC -- before 
you add FreeTDS to PHP.  See also the advice at 
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/pagenodata.htm.
