  • 1.  Error when installing sudo_ids on AIX

    Posted 03/29/21 08:33 PM
    This server has an application that uses AIX LDAP and I can not install the Sudo package because it installs OpenLDAP. Then application does not work because of the 2 LDAP in the server.

    Therefore I have decided to install sudo_ids which works with IBM LDAP. But when I'm trying to install it, it gets below highlighted error. Does anyone know how to fix this ?

    root@server[/usr/lib64]# yum install sudo_ids

    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

    Have you created softlinks for the library in /usr/lib
    Execute this command  " /opt/IBM/ldap/<version>/bin/idslink -l 32 -l 64 " . This will create a softlink /usr/lib/libibmldap.a pointing to libidsldap.a in the /opt directory.
    After this you will have to run 'updtvpkg' command.
    Please see the following post for more information.

    Hi,

    We are trying to install sudo_ids-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm and getting dependency error:

    gettext >= 0.19.8.1 is needed by sudo_ids-1.9.5p2-1.ppc
    zlib >= 1.2.11 is needed by sudo_ids-1.9.5p2-1.ppc

    currently we have:
    Sudo V1.8.20p2 NOEXEC none 
    gettext 0.19.7-1 C R GNU libraries and utilities
    zlib 1.2.8-1 C R The zlib compression and

    OSlevel : 7100-05-07-2038

    Any updates on where we can download this gettext and zlip packages and any impact on updating these?

    Thanks.
