Are you using AIX Toolbox LibXrender rpm ? If that's case, it will have dependency on AIX installp LibX11.

 

# yum list | grep libXrender

libXrender.ppc                             0.9.8-1waixX11   @AIX_Toolbox
libXrender-devel.ppc                       0.9.8-1waixX11   @AIX_Toolbox

 

# rpm -q --requires libXrender
libX11.a(shr4.o)
libc.a(shr.o)

 

# lslpp -f | grep libX11.a
                        /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libX11.a
                        /usr/lib/libX11.a -> /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libX11.a
                        /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R6/libX11.a

All of the packages I am trying to install were downloaded from the AIX Toolbox this morning.

I have tried another install using yum and the "localinstall" option, followed by all of the package names.

I am still getting the error for libX11 dependency.

okay, thank you. I also ran into issues installing/updating libgcc to libgcc-6.3.0-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm 

[root@vctst07 gtk2_bundle_v2.24.30]# rpm -Uvh ./libgcc-6.3.0-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

e have these installed:

[root@vctst07 gtk2_bundle_v2.24.30]# rpm -qa | grep libstdc++

----------

I ended up not trying to install libXrender (per your recommendation) or libgcc (because of  above) and all of the other packages before gtk2 and they installed fine.

--------

When I installed gtk2, this was output at the end:

To verify if gtk2 installation is fine is to run the gtk-demo command.

For running gtk2 based applications like eclipse above mentioned LIBPATH should be used.

 

Thanks,

So, I set my LIBPATH:

[bpower@vctst07 /] # export LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib:/lib

[bpower@vctst07 /] # echo $LIBPATH
/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib:/lib

 

and when I excute the gtk-demo command, get this output:

[bpower@vctst07 /] # gtk-demo
Could not load program gtk-demo:

when I look for libXrender.a:
[bpower@vctst07 /] # whereis libXrender.a

I am also trying the install to another host and am getting a file conflict error with libXrender:

************* Update 1:08PM E ***********

I was able to install libXrender-0.9.8 version.

We also seem to have an issue with libpng in that there is a newer version of that library installed than what a couple of packages are expecting:

libpng-1.2.32-2 is not from AIX Toolbox. Please use the one from Toolbox.

Thank you for your reply. 

When I attempt to install the version from the Toolbox, it fails indicating a "newer" version is installed. How do I work around this issue?

rpm --oldpackage <libpng....rpm>

Originally posted by: bp5591

Alex and Ayappan, thank you for your replies.

First, Alex, I am not trying to install rational clearcase and I apologize if anything I wrote seemed to indicate that.

Second, Ayappan, using the "--oldpackage" option did not work for me. I ended up finding the following syntax which did:

rpm -U --force ./libpng-1.6.27-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

I also had to satisfy these additional dependencies

• downgrade install of gcc-6.3.0-1 from /mnt/aix/71/linux_toolbox_20180502/RPMS/ppc-7.1
• normal install of libstdc++-6.3.0-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm from the ppc-7.1 RPMS folder from the AIX Toolbox

After installing those three packages, I was able to install gtk2-2.24.30-2waixX11.ppc and dependencies via yum with the "localinstall" option, using my local repository,  which contained the gtk2 packages I downloaded  last week from the AIX Toolbox.

Thank you again for your help!

I too have a problem with libX11 and libXext not found.

AIX LPAR: 7200-01-1731

rpm.rte: 4.13.0.8

The end goal is to install Python on all of our AIX Servers. We thought that installing yum not only would give us python but also a way to install / update / upgrade OpenSource apps without needing to worry about someone installing from another source then the AIX Toolbox.

    yum update
    .
    . .
    . . .
    Error: Package: tk-8.6.8-2.ppc (AIX_Toolbox)
               Requires: libX11.a(shr4.o)
    Error: Package: tk-8.6.8-2.ppc (AIX_Toolbox)
               Requires: libXext.a(shr.o)

    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
     You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
 

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please verify if you have proper libX11 and libext libraries in your system.

These libraries comes from base AIX. 

# lslpp -f | grep libXext.a
                        /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libXext.a
                        /usr/lib/libXext.a -> /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libXext.a
                        /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R6/libXext.a

# lslpp -f | grep libX11.a
                        /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libX11.a
                        /usr/lib/libX11.a -> /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libX11.a
                        /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R6/libX11.a
#

Please also verify you have not installed any other libX11/libXext from any other source that does not provide this shared object.

*** UPDATE: I forgot to run updtvpkg after adding the additional filesets.
Once  it completed, yum update worked.

Thank you for your time.

The filets do not exist on my system. I couldn't find them on our nim server either. So I downloaded fresh DVD ISOs. And I was unable to find them on the ISOs. 

I feel very dense right now.

I tried to install X11.base and received this error:

    X11.base.lib 7.2.3.15 *                   # AIXwindows Runtime Libraries
        (supersedes:  7.2.3.0)ls

        (supersedes:  7.2.3.0)

  MISSING REQUISITES:  The following filesets are required by one or more
  of the selected filesets listed above.  They are not currently installed

  and could not be found on the installation media.

    X11.base.smt 7.2.0.0                      # Base Level Fileset

  << End of Failure Section >>
 

I loaded just about anything X11 related. I received a warning that a reboot was required. Rebooted.

Checked again for the filesets:

#-> lslpp -f | grep libXext.a
                        /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libXext.a
                        /usr/lib/libXext.a -> /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libXext.a

                        /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R6/libX11.a

I now try to perform a yum update and I receive the same error message:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

-Any thoughts on where I missing the point?
