  • 1.  Library dependency for Python v3.9.6 installation

    Posted Wed September 21, 2022 04:13 PM
    Hello,

    We are trying to install Python v3.9.6 using rpm command with the rpm file python3.9-3.9.6-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm. we got message for missing dependent libraries. Can you please let me know where I can download 2 of them? (I did find other libraries in AIX Toolbox download site).
       ......
       liblzma.a(liblzma.so.5) is needed by python3.9-3.9.6-1.ppc
       libncurses.so is needed by python3.9-3.9.6-1.ppc
       libpanel.so is needed by python3.9-3.9.6-1.ppc
       ......

    Thanks

    Mi

    liblzma.a is provided by xz-libs RPM package and libncurses and libpanel are provided by ncurses RPM package.
    But if you are going to resolve dependencies one by one using RPM this is going to be challenging. 
    We recommend to use dnf to install packages from AIX toolbox. dnf will automatically resolve all libraries and install correct dependent RPMs.
