Re: [tbox-l] installing apache on aix 4.3.3

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

It wants the native AIX perl, which is on the AIX install media in installp
format in the "perl.rte" fileset.
(The only reason there is a perl in the Toolbox is so you can use a newer
version than what came with the system, if desired).  After you install
perl.rte, you will need to run /usr/sbin/updtvpkg so that the presence of
/usr/bin/perl gets recorded in the RPM database.

The perl RPM image doesn't put perl at /usr/bin/perl because it would conflict
with the native installp version, if present.  But if you don't have your
AIX media, you could create a symlink:
# ln -s /opt/freeware/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
But, the RPM database won't know about it.  You could then do your rpm install
adding the --nodeps option so that it doesn't look up the dependency in the
database and installs anyway (only recommended if you know the dependency
really is met in spite of it not being recorded in the database).
