I am in the process of migrating Samba code running on AIX 7.2 to the latest yum-installed version available on AIX Toolbox, which for the most part is working very well.  On a migrated server for example I am running the following Samba code:

# yum list installed | grep samba
samba.ppc                      4.6.15-1                      @AIX_Toolbox      
samba-client.ppc               4.6.15-1                      @AIX_Toolbox      
samba-common.ppc               4.6.15-1                      @AIX_Toolbox      
samba-devel.ppc                4.6.15-1                      @AIX_Toolbox      
samba-libs.ppc                 4.6.15-1                      @AIX_Toolbox      
samba-winbind.ppc              4.6.15-1                      @AIX_Toolbox      
samba-winbind-clients.ppc      4.6.15-1                      @AIX_Toolbox     

There appears to be a problem, however, with the "smbclient" command in the AIX Toolbox provided code.

The command worked successfully on the previous code version I was running but when executed using the code installed from the AIX Toolbox I get the following error:

# smbclient
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program smbclient because of the following errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libreadline.a(libreadline.so.7) could not be loaded.
        0509-152   Member libreadline.so.7 is not found in archive
 

Is there a problem with the latest Samba code from AIX Toolbox or am I missing something in my migration efforts?

Thanks,

Seems like the new Samba version requires readline-7.0-5 rpm . The explicit dependency got missed while packaging Samba. 

Try updating readline to 7.0-5 .

Thank you for the response, but I already have readline up to that code level:

# yum list installed | grep readline
readline.ppc                   7.0-5                         @AIX_Toolbox     

#
# smbclient                       
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program smbclient because of the following errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libreadline.a(libreadline.so.7) could not be loaded.
        0509-152   Member libreadline.so.7 is not found in archive
 

This problem is occurring on all three Samba servers that I have installed Samba from AIX Toolbox.  Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Can you please do a reinstall of readline ?. The libreadline.a archive might have corrupted.

yum reinstall readline

Success!

Thank you, doing a re-install of readline fixed the problem on all the Samba servers.

Thank you very much!
