Python v3 library installation failure due to dependent libraries not found

  • 1.  Python v3 library installation failure due to dependent libraries not found

    Posted Tue September 20, 2022 04:37 AM
    We got error when trying installing Python 3 libraries openblas. But we already installed those. By the way, we are using 'smitty installp' command. Should we use DNF or YUM instead?

    "Command: failed        stdout: yes           stderr: no

    Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

    geninstall -I "a -cgNqwXY -J"  -Z   -d . -f File 2>&1

    File:
        openblas

    Validating RPM package selections ...

    Please wait...

    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                               RPM  Error Summary:
    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    The following errors during installation occurred:
    error: Failed dependencies:
            libgcc >= 8.3.0 is needed by openblas-0.3.18-1.ppc
            libgfortran >= 8.3.0 is needed by openblas-0.3.18-1.ppc
            libgomp >= 8.3.0 is needed by openblas-0.3.18-1.ppc "

    But we already installed them:

    "+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                               RPM  Error Summary:
    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    The following RPM packages were requested for installation
    but they are already installed or superseded by a package installed
    at a higher level:
    libgcc8-8.3.0-6.ppc is already installed.
    libgfortran8-8.3.0-6.ppc is already installed.
    libgomp8-8.3.0-6.ppc is already installed."

    Thanks

    Hello. Yes the AIX Toolbox team recommends using DNF to install and manage Open Source software packages and dependencies.
    Additionally, if you have gcc or other related dependencies from non-Toolbox sources, you might experience conflicts, so it is usually best to remove them.

    Visit Get Started to learn more about DNF and the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh install script.
