  • 1.  Python-pycurl aix toolbox

    Posted Tue February 08, 2022 11:43 AM
    Hello everybody,
    My problem is simple, i need python-pycurl but is not available in aix toolbox.

    In my company, we try to install yum on aix to use aix toolbox repositories.
    Yum has this dependences :
    - pysqlite
    - python-iniparse
    - python-urlgrabber
    - yum-metadata-parser

    Next, python-urlgrabber has python-pycurl. But we don't find it in aix toolbox.

    Has anyone ever needed it? Did you find it on another site?
    It's a bit weird that yum has as a dependency a package not available on the IBM site.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Gaël

    Hi Olivier, This is not the right way to install yum. You should use yum.sh script from AIX toolbox or yum tarball. 
    We are encouraging to use dnf now instead of yum. I am not sure if you already have installed all other dependencies of yum and just looking for these remaining one.
    Between python-pycurl is available on AIX toolbox.
