Hello,

We try to compile or install ghostscript on aix 7.1, but when we try to compile with gcc we have this error :

With the ibm cc we have this error :

and if we try to use rpm we have this problem :

if I try to force the installation of pango with --nodeps it failed.

Does anyone have already have this error and can help us to install ghostscript ? 

Thanks

We will be publishing Ghostscript package in AIX Toolbox soon, probably by this month end.

Has this Ghostscript package been published yet?

Where can I find it?  I only see a really old version available in the AIX Toolbox.

Thanks!

There are some legal issues in publishing Ghostscript in AIX Toolbox and we are working with the Legal team to get this approved.

Ghostscript 9.25 is now available in AIX Toolbox. 

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/ghostscript/

Ghostscript-fonts & urw-fonts are the dependencies.

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/noarch/ghostscript-fonts/

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/noarch/urw-fonts/

If possible, please use yum to install it.

One has to install the dependencies. Ignoring the errors using "--force" option will be problematic.

Ghostscript has lot of dependencies. Yum is the best way to install it.

Without yum, it is going to be hectic as dependencies are more here.

I'm having the same problem with it asking for libjpeg.so.63.  I have libjpeg-9c-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm installed, but that only has libjpeg.so.62.  I can't even find any reference in a web search about libjpeg.so.63 other than this page.  That's the only error I currently have.

# rpm -q --provides libjpeg-9c-1.ppc
libjpeg = 9c-1
libjpeg.a(libjpeg.so.62)
libjpeg.a(libjpeg.so.63)
libjpeg.a(libjpeg.so.9)
libjpeg.a(shr.o)
 

You need to use AIX Toolbox libjpeg rpm for AIX Toolbox ghostscript rpm. Seems like you use perzl rpm.

You rock.  That fixed my problem.

Thank you and take the rest of the day off.
