QUESTION:  

Does IBM have an official package for curl on release AIX 7.1? I searched the open source community no package exists for AIX 7.1.

On Site https://www.ibm.com/developerw orks/aix/library/aix-toolbox/a lpha.htmlPackage for aix 6.3: curl-7.62.0-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm.

I've already tried it doesn't work, we have version 7.1 installed and not 6.1.

Most of the packages in AIX Toolbox are built only in AIX 6.1 and that will work in AIX 7.1 & AIX 7.2 as well.

Curl is one of those packages. 

What is not working ? Please describe the problem.

Any package on AIX toolbox until not specified (in parentheses AIX release eg gcc) they work on AIX 6.1/7.1 and 7.2.

All the packages (but gcc and some kubernetes related) on AIX toolbox are compiled on AIX 6.1 and because of AIX backward compatibility they work on AIX 7.1 and 7.2

Hence curl-7.62.0-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm will work on AIX 6.1, 7.1 and 7.2

Let us know what specific issue customer is facing.
