  • 1.  AIX 7.2 power 7 yum install 'golang'

    Posted Wed July 22, 2020 01:42 AM
    I was asked to install 'golang' on a power7 LPAR running aix 7.2 with yum configured.

    I am getting the follow and have no clue as to how to address.

    Here is the complete install run:

    u060etla801:/>yum install golang

    golang support is from Power8. 
    We have the check in Pre-install script as you can see in the error shown up.
