Hi Jagruti,

Can you export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/ and then try.

If it still does not work, can you paste me ouputs of 

ldd /opt/freeware/bin/python3.9

dump -Tov /software/syncsort/lib/libgcc_s.a | grep _GLOBAL__AIXD_shr_o

I wonder which libgcc library you are picking. Because if you see in my LPAR's libgcc output below, the symbol exists. So we need to get Python to use /opt/freeware/lib/libgcc_s.a library.

Can you try this once? And then do a dnf update. 

The root cause of this issue is the system picking up /usr/lib/libatomic.a instead of /opt/freeware/lib/libatomic.a..

Hi Aditya ,

I have followed the step up to dnf update. from this link : https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2022/01/10/aix-migration-with-dnf

As I am getting error at dnf update .. and since dnf update was not successful dnf check is also giving error. Please see the outputs of the dnf isntsll . update and dnf check as below.

Hi,

https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2022/01/10/aix-migration-with-dnf

Are you sure you have followed all the steps in the above link? For example, "dnf check" and later??

Hi,

We need to get dnf to use /opt/freeware/lib/libatomic.a and not /usr/lib/libatomic.a. 

So can I also get your environment variables, like the output of the env command? We need to understand why it picked libatomic library from /usr/lib

Hi Aditya  
Please see the output of ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libatomic.a as below.

Hi Jagruti,

Do you have this file?

ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libatomic.a

Ideally, /opt/freeware/lib/libglib-2.0.a should link to /opt/freeware/lib/libatomic.a.

Hi Aditya/Team
I got another issue with dnf update .
I have exported the path LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/ 
pasted the output error when I ran dnf update and the output of the dump -Tov  commands.
Could you please provide your insights to resolve this issue.

Hi Aditya,

As you suggested I exported path  LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/ and then I tried to run dnf update and it worked!!

Thank you so much.

Hi Jagruti,

Can you export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/ and then try.

If it still does not work, can you paste me ouputs of 

ldd /opt/freeware/bin/python3.9

dump -Tov /software/syncsort/lib/libgcc_s.a | grep _GLOBAL__AIXD_shr_o

I wonder which libgcc library you are picking. Because if you see in my LPAR's libgcc output below, the symbol exists. So we need to get Python to use /opt/freeware/lib/libgcc_s.a library. 

# dump -Tov  /opt/freeware/lib/libgcc_s.a | grep _GLOBAL__AIXD_shr_o
[13]    0x200001bc    .data      EXP     DS   Ldef        [noIMid] _GLOBAL__AIXD_shr_o

Hi Aditya,

As you advised ran below commands

#export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/10/pthread:/opt/freeware/lib/pthread:/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/10:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib  

#dnf update 

howeve that did not help. Please see the out put of #dnf update and #env as below.

Hi,

Before we could think about other potential causes, can you

export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/10/pthread:/opt/freeware/lib/pthread:/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/10:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib

Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.

Since the migration is from AIX 7.2 to AIX 7.3 here, try this "LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.0.0/10/pthread:/opt/freeware/lib/pthread:/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.0.0/10:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib" 
Also setting LIBPATH and running things is not the permanent solution. The gcc rpm provided files are not proper in the machine because of forceful removal or something. What is the output of "rpm -qa" ? and "rpm -Va" ? 
If dnf is working after exporting the above LIBPATH, please change the dnf.conf file to point it to AIX 7.3 repo and reinstall gcc rpms (as mentioned in the migration blog). 

Hi Aditya,
