Installation Instructions

  1. Ensure that system environment variable PATH includes the location of all the compilers mentioned above.

  2. Download the source code of ICU version 3.6 for C from http://site.icu-project.org/download

  3. At the shell prompt, execute the following commands:

    gunzip -d < icu4c-3_6-src.tgz | tar -xf -
cd icu/source/
chmod +x runConfigureICU configure install-sh
./configure --disable-renaming --disable-threads --enable-debug CC=cc CFLAGS=-q64
gmake
gmake check
gmake install

  4. Set the environment variable LIBPATH to point to the location of ICU. AIX uses the environment variable LIBPATH to search for dynamically linked libraries.

This installs ICU in the /usr/local directory.

[Note]

By default, ICU is installed in the /usr/local directory. To install ICU in a different directory, use --prefix=<install_path> with the runConfigureICU command.
