    Hi Mohan,

    Please state:

    1. The operating system?
    2. The OS version?
    3. Where did  you get gzip-1.12-3.src.rpm?
    4. Do you realise the ".src." means you are installing the source code?
    5. The install of the software source code seems to have worked!

    I would download gzip code package this for (guessing this is recent AIX) from 

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-downloads-alpha

    • click on the RPM link and NOT the SRPM link.

    Hope this helps, cheers,

    Install as root user and see what happens. Not enough information to help you help your self debug this problem.
