  • 1.  Python3 libc.so.6 missing ?

    Posted Wed April 28, 2021 05:27 AM
    One of the packages I'm trying to use (IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu) references a library libc.so.6, and fails to load.

    Is this something that's resolvable without modifying the source of the software itself?  Or can I modify the code and submit a PR to support AIX with some changes?

    I'm relatively new to Python3 on AIX, so this is a new problem for me.

    Thanks

    >>> import ctypes
>>> import platform
>>> platform.system()
'AIX'
>>>
>>> ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary("libc.so.6")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/freeware/lib64/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 442, in LoadLibrary
    return self._dlltype(name)
  File "/opt/freeware/lib64/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 364, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: Could not load module .

    "libc.so.6" is specific to linux.
    The equivalent for AIX will be "libc.a(shr_64.o)" .
