    Hello All,

    I've been trying to install the latest version of sudo on an AIX 5.3 box using RPM, but it fails on dependencies. I'm really not sure what to look for and I was wondering if anyone had any pointers to figure this out ?

    rpm -ivh sudo-1.7.6-2.ppc.rpm
    error: failed dependencies:
    libc.a(shr.o) is needed by sudo-1.7.6-2
    libs.a(shr.o) is needed by sudo-1.7.6-2

    I've checked, and the libraries are there.

    bos.rte.libc 5.3.11.4 C F libc Library

    I tried to set LIBPATH variable, but it still gives me the same error. RPM version is as follows:

    rpm.rte 3.0.5.49 C F RPM Package Manager
    AIX-rpm 5.3.11.0-10 C R Virtual Package for libraries
    (/bin/rpm)
    recording program. (/bin/rpm)
    filesystem. (/bin/rpm)
    thank you!

    Frank.

    Please wait.../usr/bin/lslpp: Error while processing fileset IHS.base.additional_modules.
    /usr/bin/lslpp: Cannot match fileset name with fileset ID.

    I don't even know what this fileset is.. Is there a way to fix this ?

    Thanks!
