I need to install python 3.3.0 to AIX 6.1
I created folder where I want to install

I downloaded files archive from python official website

I extracted it into new folder and ran;
1) ./configure --with-gcc="xlc_r" --with-cxx="xlC_r" --disable-ipv6 --prefix=my_folder CXX=xlC_r --without-computed-gotos
it is ok
2) gmake

I have error

./Modules/makexp_aix Modules/python.exp . libpython3.3m.a;  xlc_r    -Wl,-bE:Modules/python.exp -lld -o python Modules/python.o  libpython3.3m.a -lintl -ldl    -lm
ld: 0711-851 SEVERE ERROR: Output file: python
        The file is in use and cannot be overwritten.
gmake: *** python Error 12

Any suggestions?

Are you doing this as root? It may be a permission issue.

This error says it in plain English: you have python already installed and in use, now you try to overwrite an executable which is indeed in use. Either compile it on a system where you don't use it, or stop its usage for the time needed to compile/install, or do anything else to resolve this conflict (compile to another path, etc.).

I hope this helps.
