Installed curl-7.61.0-1 with no dependency errors, but when I execute it, I received these errors:

# curl -vki  --ssl-allow-beast https://at.gov/financeonline/account_services/registration/str_hotel/update_payment_status>
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program curl because of the following errors:

There is no "libcrypto64" RPM install package, and installing the 'libgcrypt-1.8.2-1' RPM package has no effect on the error.

From basic research on Google, the "libcrypto64" library is supposed to be contained in the 'AIX-rpm-7.1.2.15-1' package, as shown here:

# rpm -q AIX-rpm-7.1.2.15-1 --provides | grep cry
libcrypt.a(shr.o)
libcrypt.a(shr_64.o)
libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so)
libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.8)
libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.0)
libcrypto.a(
libcrypto64.so)
libcrypto.a(
libcrypto64.so.0.9.8)
libcrypto.a(
libcrypto64.so.1.0.0)
libcrypto_compat.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.8)
libcrypto_compat.a(
libcrypto64.so.0.9.8)
libxcrypt.a(shr.o)
libxcrypt.a(shr_64.o)
liby4crypt.a(shr.o)
liby4crypt.a(shr_64.o)

However, it appears that curl-7.61.0-1 is unable to *see* those libraries?  Is this as something as simple as just updating my 'AIX-rpm-7.1.2.15-1' package to a higher level on the system?

Further research seems to indicate that I have to create "libcrypto64" symbolic links in the /opt/freeware/lib64 and /usr/lib directories on the system?

# find /opt/freeware -type f -name "libcrypto*"
/opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a
/opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
/opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
/opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
/opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.1
/opt/freeware/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
/opt/freeware/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
/opt/freeware/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
/opt/freeware/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.1

# find /usr/lib -type f -name "libcrypto*"
/usr/lib/libcrypto.a
/usr/lib/libcrypto_compat.a
/usr/lib/nsr/lib64/cst/libcryptocme.sig
/usr/lib/nsr/lib64/cst/libcryptocme.so

Any assistance in debugging/rectifying this issue would be appreciated since IBM AIX Support washes their hands of the problem with the "AS IS" boilerplate...

AIX Toolbox packages depends on the openssl lpp package that ships with AIX Base. One can download it from AIX Expansion pack programs also. 

In your case, it seems like you have openssl rpm installed (either from bull freeware or Perzl). AIX Toolbox doesn't provide openssl rpm.

I suggest you to remove the openssl rpm and better reinstall the openssl lpp package folllowed by "updtvpkg" command.

   Thank you for your answer.

I did some experimenting, and upgraded the LPAR to 7.1_TL04_SP03, which comes with Openssl1.0.2.

I then ran the

'/usr/sbin/updtvpkg'

command with no errors or output, and then tried the 7.61 version of 'curl' again.  Same results:

Make sure you uninstall the openssl rpm as well. 

This will remove libcrypto , libssl libraries from /opt/freeware/lib.
