If you know something is already installed and rpm is complaining about the
dependencies, then you can add --nodeps to the rpm -i command-line to tell
it to ignore the dependencies.
Unfortunately, this won't work for some of the support libraries for now.
The shared objects are almost universally different from the ones which
Bull produced and thus they are not shareable. There is a lengthy description
of this situation in the README. We will be paving over those incompatibilities
over time, but not without some pain to our current users.
In a nutshell, you can't use the Bull versions of zlib, tiff, jpeg, and libpng
to support the Toolbox versions of AIX and GNOME.
We don't have any plans at the moment to generate tar.gz files. We might be
able to be convinced otherwise, but that's not the current direction. You
can generate your own from an RPM image if you'd like, but you need rpm
(you can do it on some other system) and the GNU version of cpio (not the
AIX version - that won't work). For example -
mkdir /tmp/tmpd; cd /tmp/tmpd
rpm2cpio foo.rpm
tar cf foo.tar *
gzip foo.tar
You can remove files as you like along the way and use the tar balls, but
you're doing it at risk of losing dependency checking (and potentially
losing some post-installation configuration checking) that you get with
the RPMs.
The RPM format isn't the problem - it's the incompatible shared library
situation. Getting tar balls won't solve that problem.

Hi David, We have patched "libtool" to support run-time-linking on AIX. This is quite different from the linking AIX normally does. You may be able to take the libtool files from one of our SRPMS and make it work for you (ltconfig and ltmain.sh). The key is to set LDFLAGS before you do ./configure and build libtool. export LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl or setenv LDFLAGS -Wl,-brtl will configure libtool to build using run-time-linking.

All, I've been working with the rpm packages and third party software (balsa-1.1.1) and have noticed a couple of things. First, glib is not usable by other software packages. I've searched for the problem, but no luck. My only way around it was to install Bull's freeware version of glib and set LIBPATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib. Grab a copy of balsa or archimedes and run ./configure to see the error. Secondly, the same package (balsa-1.x.x) requires gnome-libs of at least 1.2.1. The toolbox has version 1.2.0. Are there plans to release and updated version? I tried to build the latest version myself, but again I ran into a glib problem. I also can see the potential this toolbox offers. Looking forward to building with these toolkits. David Edge de...@ak... |

I just finished installing (via ezinstall bundles) KDE plus all the apps, but when I use the KDE menu to select any KDE Office application, the icon appears on the KDE panel with a rotating disk to indicate that it is loading, and then the icon dissappeares off of the KDE panel, and the application never appears. Afterward, I cannot find any appropriate listing for the application in the process table. Has anyone else got this app suite to work? I am on AIX 4.3.3.25 (release S, the latest and greatest). The LAF (Linux Affinity,like that acronym?) rpm's that I used were downloaded about three days ago. |

If your existing packages are built statically and were not loaded into /usr or /opt/freeware, then installing things from the AIX Toolbox should not interfere with your existing system. The problems are with non-static executables. I tried to detail the problems which are caused by the differences in production of shared objects between the Bull-provided software and the Toolbox in the README. I don't expect that the Bull software will interfere with the Toolbox software, but the Toolbox software easily can interfere with the Bull software. That's because we are providing objects accessible in the default system directories with different characteristics than shared objects delivered from Bull. The entire list of .a files which the Toolbox ships in /usr/lib (actually they are symlinks in /usr/lib) (based on what is installed on my own system -which is more than in the published Toolbox) constitutes the majority of the potential conflicts: libMagick.a libXaw3d.a libXpm.a liba2ps.a libart_lgpl.a libbz2.a libdb.a libdeflt.a libfl.a libform.a libgdbm.a libgdk_pixbuf.a libghttp.a libgif.a libgnome.a libgnomecanvaspixbuf.a libgnomesupport.a libgnomeui.a libgnorba.a libgnorbagtk.a libgpc.a libgrove.a libgtkxmhtml.a libguile.a libhistory.a libintl.a libjabber.a libjpeg.a libltdl.a libmegawidget.a libmenu.a libname-server.a libncurses.a liborbit-c-backend.a libpanel.a libpng.a libpth.a libreadline.a libscg.a libschily.a libslang.a libsp.a libspgrove.a libstyle.a libtiff.a libttf.a libungif.a libxml.a libxode.a libz.a libzvt.a If you have any of these installed in /usr/local/lib from Bull, and if the executables which linked against those libraries contains a built-in LIBPATH which has /usr/lib ahead of /usr/local/lib, then you will need to do something to avoid problems (those mitigating measures are detailed in the README). It basically involves using LIBPATH to dictate where your shared objects get loaded from, which works except for programs which are setuid/setgid. If you have no programs which are setuid/setgid which have conflicts, then you're set to go. We are working with the libtool maintainers on a system whereby the shared library production on AIX4 and AIX5 will be as consistent as possible with the rest of the UNIX community. When we have everything in place, we will be rebuilding the modules with the new algorithm, which would likely be in place in libtool 1.5. Once that is done, tools which are built using the latest version of libtool will produce shared objects which work on AIX4 and AIX5 (both Power and IA) without user-intervention. That will benefit everybody building a tool which uses libtool (which is quite a lot). Unfortunately, this will introduce a round of binary incompatibilities which will cause us and our existing users pain in the short run. We'll be explaining the upgrade procedures once we're ready to roll out.

I have a 4.3.3 in Internet acting as an application-web server
with a lot of packages installed from bull images
(gcc, bind, sendmail, samba, make, openssh, openssl and
relative support programs and libraries)
ad I have also a lot of packages installed from original sources :
Apache+ssl+jserv, php, mysql ...)
I would like very much to install aixtoolbox for linux on my test system,
mainly to have kde ... but I don't know exactly how this could affect
the old environment. I had a lot of troubles to have all these products
working together (I had to link statically every package to avoid
shared libraries problems ..) now I fear to compromise all.
Any suggestion about the way to do ?
I read in the README there are some shortcuts, but
do they work on complex systems ?
Thanks in advance

Actually, you would need to run "rpm -qf /sbin/install-info" or "rpm -qla | grep install-info" In cases where you KNOW that the dependencies are met (but not in the database), you can use the --nodeps option to bypass the dependency checks. /sbin/install-info is provided by the "info" package.

Where is the compiled versions of the LINUX programs (i.e. gnumeric) in the AIX Toolbox? |

Patrick,
the first version you describe also didn't work for me. Will take a couple
of days before I can look into it.
The second version should do.
here is my $HOME/.xinitrc file
and I startet X with "xinit -- -T" from the "command line login".
(See attached file: xinitrc)
This one is in the kdebase-1 package, but unfortunately not in the
kdebase-2.

I installed KDE2 and then I killed the dtlogin processes and then
tried to run /opt/freeware/kde/bin/kdm.
I didn't really want to fool around with the root xsessions and stuff
until I can experiment with it.
Anyways, I tried with a user on the system and just adding the
kdmdesktop invocation in my $HOME/.xinitrc
When I ran the xinit command, the screen sort of flashed went blank
for a little while and then returned to the
command-line login prompt again.
Thanks,

Patrick,
how did you try to start kdm? There are several options and I was
successful with two of them:
1. Choose "Command line login" from the dtlogin screen and then say "xi=
nit
-- -T". You need to have a custom $HOME/.xinitrc for that.
2. Change /etc/inittab as described in the README and reboot (the
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession file has to be replaced in this case, too).
Did you install KDE2 or the old one?
Let me know, if it still doesn't work.

Does kdm actually fail to launch, or do you just see that message when it launches. I think that it always produces that message - we're hoping that it will be fixed in the 2.1 version.

Hi there,
I've installed the Linux toolbox on my RS/6000 box and the
installation went fine and all the necessary packages
for KDE have been installed properly.
However, when I try to launch kdm, I get the following error :
xdm error (pid some number): setting process grp for daemon failerd,
errno = 1
Could you help be out or point me to a FAQ of some sorts ?
Thanks,
Patrick Chan

Yes, the same here.

I've noticed after installing KDE2, that "ps auxw | grep <whatever>" is very slow. If i add another "w" to the argument, it's as fast as normal. It seems like kdeinit is somehow messing up it's entry in the process table. Maybe the string is unterminated by mistake? A "ps auxwww | more" gives output where the kdeinit entries are ~20 lines of whitespace after "kdeinit: <program>". I've seen it both on AIX 4.3.3 GOLD and 43S. Has anyone else seen this?

that's of course not a security hole of the software but the
user -- you never can avoid those; starting kdm from a root
shell, without taking care of exitig this shell: ouch!
I just checked Reza's hint about ShutdownButton=ConsoleOnly
in /opt/freeware/kde/share/config/kdmrc and yes, it does
work [Thank you Reza, BTW]. Still, it's not the same functionality
as dtlogin had, because dtlogin resumed the graphical login, when
you logged out of the console mode. Don't know how they did
this, would be nice to patch this into kdm.
Bye, Ralf

If not done very carefully, this can open up a huge security hole. Just imagine you log into the command line as root and then start kdm. When you are away at lunch, somebody walks up and executes the console login feature to stop kdm. What they will see is the root shell you started kdm from!
