Wondering if someone might already have this installed and can supply

a package list that will meet all the various dependencies described here.

(versions, package names, etc.,  output from 'rpm -qa' ?)

Most of the unsatisfied dependencies for the AIX binary and libraries like libc.a, libcrypto.a, libpthread.a should be satisfied by the AIX-rpm and libz.a from rpm.rte or you can install latest zlib.

It is always better to use yum to install packages. To install yum, you can use yum.sh script as mentioned here http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html

Thanks,
