iperf3 fails install for missing libsctp.a even when installed

  • 1.  iperf3 fails install for missing libsctp.a even when installed

    Two different systems - one AIX 7.2.2.1, the other AIX 7.1.5.1

    Initially failed to install because bos.net.sctp was not installed (appears to be optional fileset, I can't find any production servers with it). 

    Installed fileset from OS repo (NIM server) ... rpm still fails to install for a "missing library" that is installed.

    You need to run "updtvpkg" command whenever you install rte/installp filesets. That way rpm database will get updated.
