  • 1.  bash installation on AIX 6.1

    Posted Sun February 13, 2022 11:46 PM
    I tried to install bash 5.0.17-2 on AIX 6.1 but it failed with dependencies.

    AIX 6.1 TL09 SP06

    node111@/tmp/bash> oslevel -s

    libgcc <= 9.1.0 conflicts with libgcc8-8.4.0-3
    rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 is needed by ncurses-6.2-2

    libgcc isn't installed in server ( rpm -qa showed there are no libgcc package)

    How can i resolve this issue ?

    Thanks.   SUL.

    Open source ecosystem is have dependencies on other open source packages and all the dependencies needs to be installed to make it work. 
    dnf is the best way to install tools from AIX toolbox and resolve dependencies. 
    Otherwise you will have to keep finding the dependencies and installed them individually which is not recommended and it is cumbersome .
