  • 1.  install bzip2 on AIX7.2

    Posted 04/30/24 04:58 AM

    Hi All.

    I tried to install bzip2 on AIX7.2
    The following error message was displayed.

         rpm -ivh bzip2-1.0.8-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
           error:Failed dependencies:
           libagcc >= 6.3.0-2 is needed by bzip2-1.0.8-2.ppc


    However, libgcc is installed.

        #rpm -qa
        libgcc6-3.0-2.ppc

    HI!

    According to your list, your bzip2 package depends on the package libagcc, while you have libgcc6 installed. 

    In any case I would advise to avoid using the low level package manager rpm directly, but the higher level package management tool dnf instead, as that solved dependencies on its own.


    Best regards,
