  • 1.  libiconv rpm verses bos.rte.iconv

    Posted Fri October 07, 2022 08:51 AM
    Hi,

    I am installing a new AIX 7.3 system, and trying to get sudo installed. However it requires libiconv.a, which is provided by bos.rte.iconv
    #lslpp -f bos.rte.iconv
    Path: /usr/lib/objrepos

    bos.rte.iconv 7.3.0.0

    /usr/lib/libiconv.a

    #rpm -q AIX-rpm --provides|grep libico
    libiconv.a(shr.o)
    libiconv.a(shr4.o)
    libiconv.a(shr4_64.o)

    # rpm -Uhv gettext-0.21-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
    libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) is needed by gettext-0.21-1.ppc
    Similarly with libxml2.a, which is provided by bos.rte.control, so why is the rpm install not picking it up ?

    Thanks​​​​

    AIX toolbox also provides libiconv and libxml2. AIX toolbox packages are built using libraries provided by AIX toolbox to reduce dependencies on AIX level/base AIX.
    They will get installed in separate path than base AIX provided libraries.
