    Hello,

    We are working on AIX 7.2 LPAR admmi013

    YUM has been successfully installed yesterday (thanks to Ayappan and Sangamesh).

    Today our development team has troubles below :

    Sangamesh suggested we open a specific case for this "search path of expat library" problem.

    Please find the Sangamesh's message below :

    There is a problem with library search path of expat library. As a workaround you an export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib.

    This file "/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.28.1/aix-thread-multi/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so" is from perl.rte fileset.
    It links to expat library which only comes through expat rpm which i think is not good. You can open a case for the above issue.




    I understand we should use the library coming from the AIX perl.rte fileset not from the RPM package.

    How can we solve this problem ?

    We thank you very much for your help,

    We have uploaded the fixed expat (2.2.9-2) in AIX Toolbox just now.  This will fix the issue.
    https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/expat/expat-2.2.9-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    yum repo update will take some time.

    Newest package  expat   has been manually installed as it was not yet available on IBM AIXTOOL BOX site.

    Our development team says that applications are starting without any troubles now.

    We thank you very much for your help.

    Probably you were looking at the AIX Toolbox web page. We are in process of updating that.
    Meanwhile you can  get the latest expat from following location. This is our repo. Also if you use YUM then that will reflect that newer version is available.

    Hello Ayappan,

    We upgraded today AIX 7200-05-04-2220

    and expat (with yum update) :

    Installed Packages
    Name : expat
    Arch : ppc
    Version : 2.4.6
    Release : 1
    Size : 3.5 M
    Repo : installed
    From repo : AIX_Toolbox


    we have the error:

    ---- D▒marrage des serveurs

    Does it mean we should downgrade to  expat (2.2.9-2 )?
    or you will fix the new expat version ( expat (2.2.9-2).1) ?

    thank you

    Regards

    Sorry for delay in response.

    It's not able to find the libexpat.a library.
