Erlang on AIX 6

Question

I am about to use AMQP for a project and would like to use RabbitMQ, as it looks to be a good implementation. My problem is that one of the platforms will be AIX 6, and I cannot find a installable binary for the platform. Even worse it looks like there is no port of erlang for AIX.

Can anyone give me a pointer to erlang for AIX 6 or at least a port that I can compile without too much pain. Thanks...

Answer 1

Are you aware that RabbitMQ is usually installed on one or more servers that are used exclusively for the MQ broker function? If you do it that way, perhaps you can justify some Linux or Solaris servers to run RabbitMQ.

If you can run a virtualization environment on AIX then a Linux or OpenSolaris VM would be the best way to go.
