I am facing problem while trying to upgrade git package in IBM-AIX server.

Currently package installed is "git version 2.8.1", while trying to upgrade to "git-2.18.0-1" throwing following error. Kindly advice.

Please update curl to 7.60.0 or later so that proper gcc(6.3.0) version will be installed.
              curl-7.60.0 is built with gcc-6.3.0, hence the system needs to have gcc-6.3.0 or higher version.

Hi Ayappan,

Thanks for sharing information.

I tried removing openssl, but still the same. The only change now is curl doesn't give error and now it's version is displayed.

Some problem with the pre-install script. 

Run "rpm -Uvh curl-7.61.0-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm --noscripts" 

Just share the rpm version (rpm --version) and AIX level (oslevel -s)

Okay. I should have put git in place of curl.

Run "rpm -Uvh git-2.18.0-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm --noscripts"

This one worked, thanks a lot for your kind support .

Can I install openssl now or will it conflict.

Hi, I have been trying to install the same version git in aix 7.1 but I am getting dependency error for python and zlib. most likely there is a chance to get other set of dependencies of python and zlib. So is there a way to bypass this..?. 

#git --version
git version 2.8.1
#rpm -Uvh git-2.18.0-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        python >= 2.7.12 is needed by git-2.18.0-1
        zlib >= 1.2.11 is needed by git-2.18.0-1

#oslevel
7.1.0.0
