    Hi,

    In the list of installed RPM packages grep is not listed. So just to install AIX Toolbox grep RPM then gzip should also install fine.

    Try test to see missing dependencies

    rpm -ivh --test gzip-1.12-3.aix7.1.ppc.rpm {rpm name}

    This will show the dependencies required.

    Quick glance libgcc-4 is too old and most likely require updating to later version - I know at least libgcc-8 is out
