    Hi folks,

    I'm currently trying to install the RPM C and C++ compiler on an AIX 7.2.1.2 and I'm getting some dependency failures I cannot solve through the available packages from the AIX Toolbox für Linux applications.

     

    These are the RPM packages I have installed

    bash-4.3.30-1
    tcl-8.4.7-3
    tk-8.4.7-3
    expect-5.42.1-3
    sudo-1.8.6-9
    rsync-3.1.2-1
    bash-doc-4.3.30-1
    cvs-1.11.23-1
    cvsps-2.2b1-1
    info-4.6-1
    zlib-1.2.11-1
    zlib-devel-1.2.11-1
    wget-1.17.1-1
    bzip2-1.0.6-1
    gettext-0.19.7-1
    libiconv-1.15-1
    unzip-6.0-6
    curl-7.44.0-2
    tar-1.29-1
    coreutils-8.23-1
    AIX-rpm-7.2.1.0-16

     

    These are the packages I try to install in addition.

    gcc-7.2.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
    gcc-cpp-7.2.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
    gcc-cplusplus-7.2.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
    libgcc-7.2.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
    libmpc-1.0.3-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    gmp-6.1.2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    mpfr-3.1.2-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    libstdcplusplus-7.2.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
    libstdcplusplus-devel-7.2.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm

     

    Trying to install these packages gives me de following dependency failure

    error: failed dependencies:
            rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 is needed by gcc-7.2.0-1
            rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 is needed by gcc-c++-7.2.0-1

     

    Does anyone know where this comes from or how I can fix this?

     

    Thanks in advance

    I think your rpm version is 3.0.5. Try to install the latest rpm from ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/INSTALLP/ppc/rpm.rte.4.13.0.3 . That will fix this issue.

    You're right, that was the outdated package.

     

    Thanks!
