Hello,

I have a customer who is trying to install GTK and is having the following issues:

During required package install there are many conflicts with other required packages that result in the rpm install failing.  For instance when trying to install the required package libtiff-3.8.2-1 the following error is displayed.  The libjpeg-6b-6.ppc is also listed as required.  This happens on several of the required packages.  We don't want to use the  replacefiles option due concerns of stability.         
file /opt/freeware/64 from install of libtiff-3.8.2-1.ppc conflicts with file from package libjpeg-6b-6.ppc                                 
file /opt/freeware/64/lib from install of libtiff-3.8.2-1.ppc conflicts with file from package libjpeg-6b-6.ppc                                 
                                                                       

The customer contact is Mike Myers, Work phone  719-327-6095, email address: Michael.Myers@tsa.dhs.gov

Please try the latest upload libjpeg-6b-7 which should solve this issue.

Updating the HTML page involve some process due to which it takes few days.

Thanks - that worked.  I've run into another problem that seems to be a cyclical reference trying to install gcc 6.3.0-1.  The install fails indicating gcc-cpp-6.3.0-1.ppc is needed.  When I try to install gcc-cpp-6.3.0-1.ppc I get gcc-6.3.0-1.ppc is needed.

gcc-cpp = 6.3.0-1 is needed by gcc-6.3.0-1.ppc

gcc = 6.3.0-1 is needed by gcc-cpp-6.3.0-1.ppc

You can try to use yum to resolve these kind of issues.

If you want to overcome this manually , you can put both the rpms in the single rpm installation command like below.

rpm -ivh gcc-6.3.0-1..rpm  gcc-cpp-6.3.0-1..rpm

Originally posted by: MikeMyers

rpm -ivh (both) worked - thanks!  My final issue is with package xft-2.1.6-5.aix5.1.ppc.  When I try to install I'm getting 'bad magic'.  I've re-downloaded so the file is not corrupt.  It shows as a required package on AIX for the Netcool install.

Thanks for the help.

Use aix6.1 rpm package xft-2.1.6-5.aix6.1.ppc.rpm where this error is corrected.

Looks like entry in toolbox site isn't updated correctly with 6.1 image.

Thanks,

It also seems like yum is still getting the xft aix5.1 rpm and not the aix6.1 rpm . This is something which we have to fix.

Originally posted by: MikeMyers

Thanks that installed fine but presented another issue. Pango is also req'd by Netcool and a dependency of Pango is libXft.  After installing xft-2.1.6-5.aix6.1.ppc.rpm and then trying to install libXft-2.3.2-3waixX11.aix6.1.ppc.rpm I get :

file /opt/freeware/lib/libXft.a from install of libXft-2.3.2-3waixX11.ppc conflicts with file from package xft-2.1.6-5.ppc
file /usr/lib/libXft.a from install of libXft-2.3.2-3waixX11.ppc conflicts with file from package xft-2.1.6-5.ppc

Seems like both are same package (only the name and version are different). I think you can go with libXft package. You can uninstall xft and install libXft.

How do we fix this to get installation manager working in gui mode.

This issue is still open and we need to get in touch with eclipse community to fix this.

Meanwhile,  I am providing you a work around below. It will work (I am assuming all the installation went smooth for you):

*** Before launching IM/eclipse set the LIBPATH by running this command:   # export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib

Please do tell us if it worked for you.

Thanks and Regards.

Hello,

I have a similar issue when I try to launch the configmgr tool on a AIX 7.2-TL-SP1 VM.

I installed the following RPMs and also set the LIBPATH to /opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib.

The configmgr binary stops and writes the message below to the log file /tech/ECMClient/logs/nexus_configmgr_workspace/.metadata/.log

What's wrong in my configuration ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Pierre !

It seems that you have installed most of the packages (including gtk/dependencies) from bullfreeware site or from any other repository. Right now the libraries from different repositories are NOT compatible and we are working on it.

You need to re install all the packages from AIX toolbox ( ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ ) and then try again. It may be tough for you to reinstall everything but this is easier way out in future as well. You can also run yum.sh script from ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/yum.sh to configure yum in your system and can easily manage packages from our toolbox repository.

Coming to your problem, from your  installed packages the main culprit is libX11 package which we are NOT providing separately from toolbox and you would have installed it from bullfreeware most probably. This package comes from AIX base file set (/usr/lib/libX11.a) also. The required shr4.o comes from base file only, as shown below:

ar -X32_64 -tv /usr/lib/libX11.a
rwxr-x---   300/300   2154442 Jun 26 12:21 2014 shr4.o
rwxr-x---   300/300   2349062 Jun 26 12:21 2014 shr_64.o
rw-r--r--     2/2     275568 Jun 30 11:13 2007 shr.o

and your /opt/freeware/lib/libX11.a does NOT have this object file. Now, you wont be able to remove it also because libXrender-0.9.9 installed in your system is dependent on installed libX11-1.6.3 and so removing anything will break your gtk package itself. Now you can understand how complicated these things are. So, better reinstall gtk/dependencies package (all packages preferably ) from toolbox itself (either manually or after setting up yum). This will make your life easier in future as well.

Thanks and Regards

Hi @nkolunov 7b95859c-ada0-4d63-ab9b-40a78699c5a9

If you are installing all the gtk and its dependency packages from AIX toolbox, you don't need BULL's libX11 and libXext packages. These packages are available on BULL's site only for the dependency for gtk as their gtk seems to be dependent on official/external libX11 and libXext. One thing I would like to come into your knowledge is that these two gtk packages (please see at suffix):

gtk2 ppc 2.24.30-1wofX11 -------> Built with official libX11, for which libX11 is necessary.

gtk2 ppc 2.24.30-1waixX11--------> Built with X11 which comes from AIX base file. We are providing only this one.

Another thing is we are not providing libjpeg-9b-2 version, the latest we have is libjpeg-6b-7. The version you have is from BULL's, so, please remove it and install packages from AIX toolbox only. It seems that there is package mix in your system from different repositories.

Another thing is, that your package gtk2 ppc 2.24.30-1wofX11 is also from BULL's freeware. We don't provide "wofX11" suffix gtk/dependencies. Please remove this version of gtk and install gtk from toolbox site. For toolbox gtk you wont be needing libX11 and libXext packages. Not only gtk, but any gtk dependency package which have suffix "wofX11", is from BULL and you need to remove it. GTK from toolbox: ftp://ausgsa.ibm.com/projects/a/aixtoolbox/toolbox/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gtk2/

It seems that not only libX11 and libXext but you have many packages installed from BULL's site.

Thanks.
