We have downloaded the GTK rpms from

However, the rpms would fail to be installed with the following error:

=====================================================

The following packages were requested for installation
but were not found on the media:
libstdc++-6.3.0-1

The following errors during installation occurred:
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++ >= 4.2.3-2 is needed by gmp-6.1.2-1.ppc
libstdc++.a(libstdc++.so.6) is needed by gmp-6.1.2-1.ppc
libstdc++.a(libstdc++.so.6) is needed by ncurses-6.1-1.ppc

=====================================================

 

Checking the tar archive:

$ tar tvf gtk_for_AIX-7.2.0.tar |grep stdc
-rw-r--r-- root/system 12988808 2018-07-03 16:53 gtk_for_AIX-7.2.0/libstdcplusplus-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm

 

 

The filename of the rpm is 

   "libstdcplusplus-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm"

 

We tried renaming the above file with

$ mv libstdcplusplus-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm libstdc++-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm 

 

And then the rpms can be installed.

 

Is this a packaging issue in the 

 ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/gtk_for_AIX-7.2.0.tar 

If so, can you help to correct it?

 

 

Thank you.

You don't need to rename the file. You can give the command as below:

# rpm -ivh libstdcplusplus-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
Preparing...                          ################################# [100%]
Updating / installing...
   1:libstdc++-6.3.0-1                ################################# [100%]

 

After installation the rpm command will show proper name as below:

# rpm -qa | grep libstdc++
libstdc++-6.3.0-1.ppc

 

We have named it like "plusplus" knowingly because of our upload process implementation. Many users try to install it as "rpm -ivh libstdc++-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm", so it fails because obviously it is not able to find the file libstdc++-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm.

Anyways we are coming up with gtk/dependency tar ball and installation script shortly for all AIX platforms.

 

Thanks

Hello Nitish, thanks for your prompt reply.

 

My customer is using "smitty" to install the RPMs ( and we did not try to use "rpm -hiv " )

Here are the high level steps:

 

# tar xvf gtk_for_AIX-7.2.0.tar

Update the rpm.rte to the latest level 4.13.0.3 as below:
# cd rpm4
# installp -d ./ -acFYN rpm.rte

Then install the rpm packages of GTK2:
# cd ../gtk_for_AIX-7.2.0
# smitty install ---> install all the rpm packages in the current directory.

 

From smit.log, it is using the following command to install the RPM

geninstall -I "a -cgNQqwXY -J" -Z -d . -f File 2>&1

 

Are you able to recreate the same issue as well?

If so , then it may be a problem specific to the "geninstall" command when working with the filename libstdcplusplus-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm.

Yeah ! I am able to recreate the issue. smitty install/geninstall is taking the file libstdcplusplus as libstdc++, hence the issue.

I cant do anything there but for now you can use "rpm -ivh "

 

Thanks
