    I got a clean AIX5.3(64bit), and then I have downloaded gtk2 and it's dependents rpm package from www.bullfreeware.com;
    When I run "rpm -i gettext-version libiconv-version", I got a error message "miss libxlsmp.a"
    Since http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php siad "If you get the following error message Error: failed dependencies libxlsmp.a(smprt.o) is needed by gettext-0.17-1 then please install the RPM with the "--nodeps" switch!", so I run "rpm --nodeps -i gettext-v libiconv-v", and then I insalled others rpm package(no --nodeps instruction);

    but when I install gtk2, I got these error message

    hellp me ~ :(

    Sometimes Michael's and Bull packages conflict with each other.
    I had such a problem when I used packages from Bull and Michael's site
    to meet the firefox required packages. I had to removed all the required
    packages and then install just the packages from one of the sites. I am
    using Michael's site. (Michael will answer emails when he has time.
    Bull just seems to reject my emails.)

    I have the following gtk2 rpm installed on my system.(5300-12-05-1140)
    gtk2-2.18.9-2
    gtk2-engines-2.18.4-1
    gtk2-immodule-xim-2.18.9-2
    gtk2-immodules-2.18.9-2

    and libiconv-1.14-2 and gettext-0.17-6
    If you read Michael's notes he talks about problems with gettext. I believe
    it you are only using Michael's rpm there is no problem; but if you have mixes
    IBM rpm with Michael's conflicts can occur. Watch out. If you install a TL
    or maintenance patch from IBM, the patch might overwrite gettext even if
    you are not using IBM version. You might have to reinstall gettext.

    NOTE:
    Watch out for cairo-1.10.2-1. If you are using Uli version of firefox.
    This version of cairo will cause a problem with firefox.
