  • 1.  About the prerequisite RPM for installing python2.7.5

    Posted Mon November 14, 2022 01:32 AM
    Hi, I would like you to advice on introducing python2.7.5.

    We are building a TNM server and need to install python2.7.5. The AIX environment is 7.2 and I installed the following RPM file set that I was told here the other day.

    https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/installing-and-configuring-gtk-on-aix/

    When we built a TNM server in the AIX7.1 environment last time, we installed python2.7.5 along with the following installation premises. 

    tcl-8.4.7-4.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    tk-8.4.7-4.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    gdbm-1.8.3-5.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
    readline-6.1-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

    I failed installed the latest version of the same RPM except for readline. It seems that libgcc should be 8.3.0.
    Since python2.7.5 is old, should I use the old RPM version for installation?

    Thank you in advance.

    It is always recommended to have recent versions of packages/rpms installed. Python 2 is already out of support for quite sometime.

    Hi, thank you for your quick reply.

    It seems that libgcc8.3.0 is a prerequisite for installing the latest version. I currently have libgcc 6.3.0-1 installed and when I try to install to 8.3.0 I get the following error.

    # rpm -ivh libgcc8-8.3.0-6.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
    libgcc <= 9.1.0 conflicts with libgcc8-8.3.0-6.ppc

    Is there any workaround? I have attached the log, so I want you to check it.

    best regards,
    Aiko Nishida

    Without dnf, it will be difficult to update to multiversioned gcc rpms. 
    Probably you need to list all the installed rpms here. "rpm -qa"

    Yes , you can install dnf and then using dnf you can install python2.

    Hi, thank you for your reply.
    I installed dnf. When I tried to install python2.7.5 by dnf, I got the following error. Should I respond by specifying the option described at the end of the error?

    Sorry for late reply but as you can see from error output it is not able to resolve hostname.
    So either you AIX system is not on internet or can not connect to AIX toolbox or there is issue in name resolution. 

    "Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for"
