Hi Monks.

I'm installing Sys::MemInfo from cpan and it has installed fine on linux, solaris and hp-ux. It's failing on aix (both 5.3 and 6.1) with the following:

  You might want to try
    install CPAN
    reload cpan
  to both upgrade CPAN.pm and run the new version without leaving
  the current session.

Stop.

I'm guessing that there is some c library that is missing that contains 'u_longlong_t; but I really don't know that stuff very well. Any ideas what I need to do to get this module to install?

Thanks very much, Rick
