  • 1.  Python 3.9 on AIX 7.2

    Posted 20 days ago

    To upgrade Python from 3.9.16 to 3.9.19 on an AIX 7.2 server what are the steps involved.

    I am running setuptools & it gave me error Failed dependecies.

    root@favmdqm1: :/users/u410203/DNF # rpm -ivh  python3.9-setuptools-72.1.0-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm
    warning: python3.9-setuptools-72.1.0-1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 41eea8e0: NOKEY
    error: Failed dependencies:
            python3.9 >= 3.9.19 is needed by python3.9-setuptools-72.1.0-1.noarch

    Do we have a complete package to download & install it on AIX 7.2.

    Uday, use DNF to install and update RPM packages on AIX.
