Re: [toolbox-l] rpm 3.0.5 missing database library

Thanks for your quick reply.

Well, no I didn't build db 2.7.7  with the --enable-compat185.  I just installed
the pre-built rpm.  I suppose I can rebuild db if that is necessary.  Would it
make sense to provide the 2.7.7 rpm for db with this already done for the
future?

Yes, I used the rpm.rte package to install rpm 3.0.5 and then I downloaded the
rpm 3.0.5 source from the web page.  I need to build the rpm tools in order to
get one of the utilities I'm working on to work.

I have also noticed that the normal install of rpm installs itself as
rpm-'version'-'release', but it looks like the AIX rpm.rte version is in the rpm
database as AIX-rpm-'aix version'-'release' (ie. AIX-rpm-4.3.3.10-1).  I found
this a bit odd.  Can you elaborate on why this was done this way?

TIA,

- Mike Donahue

When you build db, you need to configure with --enable-compat185.  We have
db (it's really db1) available as an RPM in the AIX Toolbox, and it is
also installed as part of our rpm.rte installp image for 4.3.3.

You have your own rpm then, and not the version from the AIX toolbox?
