Does anyone know if this version works on AIX7.2?

It will work. Most of the packages built in AIX 6.1 will work in AIX 7.1 ,7.2. GCC is an exception here since it depends very much on OS specific stuffs.

Ok,  I just tried installing version 4.6.15-1 on one of my AIX7.1 servers and got over 600 dependency errors.  Is there any site that is comprehensive?

Samba has lot of dependencies. Please use yum to install it.

If you don't have yum setup, get the yum.sh script and run it.

You can get the link to yum.sh script from AIX TOOLBOX site.

Here is the link for yum.sh

Download yum.sh on your system and run it as a root. It will installed rpm.rte (if needed) and all the rpm packages needed to setup yum.

Once you have installed yum you can use yum to install any open source package from AIX toolbox. yum will automatically resolved the dependencies and download and install them.
