We also have some RPMs from Perzl (we should all buy this guy a cake or something), possibly some from bullfreeware. The issue is some of the software we use needed RPMs that IBM didn't, doesn't, or won't provide.
So I get a call about our new AIX 7.2 server. It needs samba - the server and the client. We have it grandfathered into our AIX 7.1 servers b/c they were upgraded from AIX 6 when it was still on the expansion pack.
"You have to use yum(.sh)."
That's not entirely true. Yum quit working for us some time ago. Now it complains about TCL:
/usr/local/lib/tcl8.5/init.tcl: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.19, need exactly 8.5.9
version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.19, need exactly 8.5.9
We can't back rev TCL.
So I'm left wtih a pile of dependencies missing:
It's too many to list. Here's an example:
libtevent-util.so is needed by samba-winbind-4.6.15-1.ppc
What provides libtevent-util? I'm searching for an IBM toolbox option that may provide it but I don't see anything jumping out at me that would provide it. I searched around on the net as well and I'm coming up with "
libtevent-util.blablabla.rpm" which isn't there on the toolbox page.
Add to this I doubt support will help with Open Source anything and I'm a bit panicked that I will have to compile this from source.
I am not a huge fan of custom compiles on production servers. Even in the other *nix worlds I try and avoid it unless I'm in a lab.
What's a good way to figure out what will fulfill the requirement? There's lots more than libtevent. But that's a start.
