On my systems /usr/lib/libgd.a and /usr/lib/libXpm.a are linked to /opt/freeware/lib. Did you check that? Maybe you should reinstall gd an libXpm

Hope this helps

Was this Apache built on the previous AIX 5.3 machine (judging from the path's it doesn't look like any familiar pre-built package)?

How does your environment look like? For example do you have LIBPATH set, etc?

Also you should not change links in /usr/lib, like the libXpm.a symbolic link. You will break other things when using the freeware version like that.

Just speculating now but it looks like that Apache environment was built on a somewhat dirty system (custom made changes to system libs, etc.). The best option would probably be to clean up your new 6.1 installation as much as you can (like reversing the changes to symbolic links in /usr/lib, etc.) and then rebuild Apache on the new AIX 6.1 system.

Alternative you could also look at some pre-built packages.

I was able to resolve issue by linking the path /usr/lib/libXpm.a to /opt/freeware/lib.libXpm.a
and export LIBPATH.

Now I have another issue regarding soap and curl. I compiled soap and curl with apache 2.2 and php 5.2.17 on AIX 6.1.

How do I start apache so that it takes new compiled version of soap and curl. How do I define in httpd.conf and php.ini.

Kindly give some direction.

please see if you have any solution.

Well, do you have libgd installed on your system? In case you do have libgd, do you have the correct version of the shared object (libgd.so.2)?

Anyway, as mentioned earlier I think you are going down the wrong path on this one. You are making dangerous changes on the system in order to get (a what seem to be) an incorrectly built Apache/PhP to work. You may end up spending to much time to maybe get it to work and you still just pushed the problem infront of you.

If possible in your case I would recommend to ditch the old installation and use a newer pre-built Apache/Php. It has lots of dependencies, but in the end it may be time well spent.

Also, the /usr/lib/libXpm.a symbolic link should point to /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libXpm.a
