    Hello,

    I downloaded "info-6.3-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm" from IBM web site "AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications". I am trying to install it on AIX 71. server but it fails due a library dependency shown below.

    # rpm -ivh info-6.3-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    error: failed dependencies:
            libncurses.a(libncurses.so.6) is needed by info-6.3-1

    Then I downloaded and tried installing "curses-6.0-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm"but that one has more dependencies.

    # rpm -ivh ncurses-6.0-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    error: failed dependencies:
            libgcc_s.a(shr.o) is needed by ncurses-6.0-1
            libstdc++.a(libstdc++.so.6) is needed by ncurses-6.0-1

     

    Can you please provide help on how to find and install these dependencies?

    Thanks,

    Stavros

    Please try installing it using the YUM.

    To set up YUM, run the yum.sh script https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/yum.sh

    If you have rpms packages from some other source then the conflict might occur.

    Let us know how it goes.

     

    thanks,
