IBM has to make its share holder happy – thus there is no place to support open source on AIX – SCNR IMHO pware.hvcc.edu and perzl.org are the only one delivering working OSS packages for AIX where i prefer pware because it does not uses /opt/freeware/bin at all. Links: - http://perzl.org - http://pware.hvcc.edu/ So you might find there what you are looking for or ask Michael Perzl ( perzl.org) or William Jojo [w.jojo (AT) hvcc.edu] if they can provide help. hth and cheers Hajo |

Subject: PDF Toolkit
Hi!
I have a problem. There is no PDF toolkit available for
AIX (I'm using AIX 5.3). Not that I can find anywhere on the Internet,
from AIX Toolkit to IBM website to Bull Freeware.
But there is source code at
http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk . So, I downloaded it and learned that it
required GCJ (JAVA compiler as part of GCC). Again, I could not find
GCJ anywhere from AIX Toolkit to IBM website to Bull Freeware. So, I
downloaded the GCC source code and had trouble getting GCJ to compile.
Since PDF is very common, so I don't know why there
isn't one for AIX. Some of our customers are waiting for it.
I welcome some suggestion or help.
Thanks,
Scott Fletcher

What does the output of lslpp -L rpm.rte report? -Brian ________________________________ From: John C Vanhoozer <joh...@us...> To: aix...@li... Sent: Wed, March 3, 2010 5:08:53 PM Subject: Re: [tbox-l] rpm installer and gcc4.2.0 rpm package. Thanks, guys.. But that's not it. I did install that already. What I suspect is that message should be that the package was meant for AIX 6.1 since there is no release 6.1 of RPM. There is no version 6.x of rpm available from anywhere.

There are a small number of RPM packages on the AIX Toolbox that are tied to individual AIX releases. The gcc package is one of those. To me it sounds like John is attempting to install gcc-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm (which is the AIX 6.1 version) onto an older version of AIX. There is also an AIX 5.3 versions of gcc available. Any updates for older versions of AIX were discontinued a while back, but the old RPMs can still be found on the ftp site. Dan > > /usr/sbin/updtvpkg is the command.

/usr/sbin/updtvpkg is the command. However, I suspect that the particular AIX machine is at an older AIX release (e.g 5.3.x.x) and hence, at an older AIX-rpm. Any upgrade of this virtual RPM package should come from upgrading the whole OS to AIX 6.1. ==Pythagoras Watson, LLNL HPC Systems Administrator On Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 01:48:48PM -0800, Brian Likosar wrote: :That's a "pseudo" RPM that gets created when you install rpm.rte.

That's a "pseudo" RPM that gets created when you install rpm.rte. I can't recall the name of the command to create it/update it manually, but it might be worth upgrading your rpm.rte to get it to run again. -Brian

Hello.
Anyone has the precompiled binaries of APM bundle (Apache-MySQL-PHP) for
AIX 6.1?
APACHE 2.2.14
PHP 5.2.11
MYSQL 5.1.41
PHP version is critical and the lower versions of others are okay.
If anyone has them or has some information about them, please let me know.
I appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Eunsuk Kim.

A while ago, we rolled a new release (xpm-3.4k-8) to address this. There is now a package specifically for AIX >= 6.1. Since libXpm is delivered with the base OS at these levels, this RPM is basically a dummy. It provides nothing and only exists to satisfy packaging dependency checks: <ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/xpm/xpm-3.4k-8.aix6.1.ppc.rpm> There is still a package for AIX < 6.1 which provides libXpm as before: <ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/xpm/xpm-3.4k-8.aix5.2.ppc.rpm> -- Reza Arbab ar...@au... |

My development partner is encountering a problem when trying to install emacs from the AIX tool box. This has been done successfully for sometime, this problem is a new issue. 1) With AIX install you get: /usr/libXpm.a -> /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libXpm.a 2) With post processing, we apply rpm xpm-3.4k-7.aix5.1.ppc.rpm, which changes symlink to: /usr/lib/libXpm.a -> /opt/freeware/lib/libXpm.a 3) If the rpm is removed, possibly during an upgrade or an rpm removal (rpm -e) /usr/lib/libXpm.a no longer exists. This rpm comes from the IBM AIX Toolbox site: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/ The problem is also described at: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1011288 Regards, Wayne Solution Relationship Manager, Oracle Technology Mail stop P184, Building 008 2 D19 2455 South Road, Poughkeepsie NY 12601 wm...@us...

Building an open infrastructure to build (OSS) software for AIX. Motivation: The current status of having Open Source Software (OSS ) available for AIX is somehow disappointing. Currenlty four main sides providing packages for AIX: 1) IBM: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/index.html 2) Hudson Valley Community College (Bill Jojo): http://pware.hvcc.edu/ 3) oss4aix.org ( Michael Perzl ) http://www.perzl.org/aix 4) Bull http://www.bullfreeware.com/ 1)IBM + Build with the xlc compiler = Using RPM package format not native bff - Interferes with the base OS ( uses /usr/bin , /lib ) - No external access/support possible ( wiki, documentation , build ) - No official build environment -- Package are pretty outdated. Internal management takes 99.9% of the resources. 2) HVCC + Building BFF packages + Does not interfere with the base OS. = Basic build environment software ( tar file ) and documentation ( PDF ) - No external access/support possible - One man show. If he is gone the project might fade out as well. - Uses the GCC and not the native IBM xlc 3) OSS4AIX + Using the native IBM xlc Compiler = Replacement of the AIX Toolbox. Newer Versions but depending on parts of the Original toolbox. - Partly builds with the GCC ( Perl and its modules ) breaking the compiler selection. - One man show. If he is gone the project might fade out as well. - No external access/support possible 4) BULL Have no seen any progress at all within the last years. Thus not taking into account. If I take a look at all the (-) I think that the situation should be somehow improved. 1) Free hardware und OS access To build software for AIX you need simply access to an IBM AIX system with some kind of compiler. The hardware access can be given nowadays through the internet to dedicated build machines based on VM like the one from my side OpenAIX http://www.metamodul.com/10.html 2) Having a free available compiler. The GCC is freely available but also the Trial&Buy Version for the IBM XlC v8. In case a higher version of the IBM Compiler is needed and IBM is not able/willing to provide its own compiler for free to build OSS the charge for the compiler is imho not that high ( In case I have to pay per real CPU and not VM ) 3) Documentation I like wikis to have some kind of rapid documentation. 4) Code repository. The code repository should contain all stuff which is needed to create/maintain a build environment as well as the "SPEC" files to build certain packages and should allow people to join the project! One of the unpleasant tasks of building OSS is the solving of dependencies. To solve this problem the project should attach to a certain Linux distribution because they have done this task already. This would allow us as well to have the same (subset ) of software on AIX as on Linux. Conclusion: Already available * Hardware: metamodul.com can at least provide AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 VM. * Software: metamodul.com can at least provide xlc v8 ( T & B) for AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 VM. ( p5 510 ) Open Tasks * Documentation: Creating a wiki ( which name ) * Communication: Creating a newsgroups or email list * Repository: Creating a code repository ( Sourceforge ? ) * Creating a build environment * Determine the Linux Enterprise Version on which the project will connect to. Some notes: Its all there for what is needed to a have an AIX+GNU instead of an Linus+GNU . It just must be brought together. P.S Thanks a lot to Bill Jojo and Michael Perzl for providing OSS to AIX P.S.S To any reading CIO: You should step forward from a hunter type to a farmer type. With kind regards Hajo Ehlers |

Thank you, Reza! I copied the new package to our csm server and updated the internal sysadmin-wiki. I did not recon files created in %post can not be included in %files. It has to be that way of course, although in principle the %pre and %post scripts should avoid creating files if possible, in order to maintain an accurate RPM file database. --joern On Wed, 17 Jun 2009, Reza Arbab wrote: > Hi Jørn, > > On 16 Jun 2009, 03:41AM CDT, Jørn Amundsen <Jor...@nt...> wrote: >> 2.

As you found, it is instead created dynamically in %post by setup.sh. So, 'rpm -qf' will not provide a useful result. At least they took care not to leave a mess behind when the package is uninstalled. The %postun section will remove all of /etc/webmin. Thanks for your fix! -- Reza Arbab ar...@au... |
