    Hi,

    Can you use /opt/freeware/lib/libatomic.a[libatomic.so.1] instead of /usr/lib/libatomic.a[libatomic.so.1]?

    Try with export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib

    And then try dnf update

    Hi,

    What is the output of  rpm -qa | grep libgcc

    It should be something along  <libgcc-version.ppc>

    In my case it is libgcc13-13.3.0-1.ppc. Then check if rpm -ql libgcc13-13.3.0-1.ppc | grep atomi 

    Check if libatomic.a exists here. This the libatomic we need to use. 

    So in my case I have it /opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.0.0/13/libatomic.a

    So I will export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.0.0/13/

    Can you check what is happening in your LPAR and why it is not picking gcc compiled libatomic library based on the information I have given.

    Thank you, after running  command "export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.0.0/10/" I am able to update and run the dnf command.

    Thanks for the help and guidance.
