Python packages installation error on AIX 7.2

  • 1.  Python packages installation error on AIX 7.2

    Posted 09/01/25 11:22 PM

    Hi Team,

    We get the below error after aix toolbox installation for python on AIX 7.2.

    We tried unset the libpath but still we get the same error. please assist to fix it

    root@:/ # unset LIBPATH

    root@:/ # dnf update

    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/libexec/python3.9_32 because of the following errors:

    0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/libpython3.9.a(libpython3.9.so) because:

    0509-136 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libintl_so (number 283) is not exported from

    dependent module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8).

    0509-136 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libintl_so (number 284) is not exported from

    dependent module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8).

    0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the

    'dump -Tv' command.

    root@:/ # echo $LIBPATH

    Regards,

    Ramkumar

    Hi Ram,

    You see the symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libintl_so is not exported from /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8).

    It is exported from /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a.

    Do you have ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a 
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 411692 Oct 20  2022 /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a

    If you have check if that symbol exists.
    # dump -Tov -X64 /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a | grep _GLOBAL__AIXI_libintl_so

    [68]    0x20001230    .data      EXP     DS   Ldef        [noIMid] _GLOBAL__AIXI_libintl_so

    You should see the above output. If you see the above output then 

    export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib
    Then do dnf update

    After this you will no longer need to set LIBPATH, and dnf should work.

    Tentatively, can you copy from another LPAR this file /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a.
    It looks like this file is removed. 
    And then export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib and try??

    Hi Ram,

         Your system got messed up with the rpm dependency library and AIX toolbox libraries.

         I would suggest to cleanup the installed packages and make the setup again.
         Please follow the below link for the reference.

    Hi Ram,

    Can you try export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH and then try again??

    Hi Ram,

    In your .profile file in root 

    Check for the PATH variable.

    PATH=.:$PATH:/opt/IBM/sdk_rust/0.0.8/bin/:/usr/lpp/htx/etc/scripts:/test/tools:/opt/freeware/bin

    It should look like this. There you can append the paths you want.

    Thanks for quick update, we could see this under. profile. shall we append it after bin?

    #The following line is added by License Use Management installation
    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/opt/ifor/ls/os/aix/bin
    #The following line is added by License Use Management installation
    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/LicenseUseManagement/bin
