current samba packages, dependency on libiconv.a

  • 1.  current samba packages, dependency on libiconv.a

    Posted Thu December 01, 2022 12:37 PM
    Hello,
    I updated the Linux freeware packages on one LPAR with AIX 7.2 (last update was over a year ago).
    I noticed when trying to run smbclient, then it would not load because it tried to load libiconv.a from /usr/lib instead of /opt/freeware/lib.
    This happens because LIBPATH was set (containing both, among other settings).
    Regardless of how I set it, some tool will fail (in my case, either smbclient or ksh93).
    Only if I completely unset it, all tools work. But that creates problem with the LPAR's workload which requires a LIBPATH setting.
    The problem would probably not happen if the libiconv.a dependency would be hardcoded in the Samba packages like described here:

    Hi Kai-Uwe, We will look that into future version of Samba.
