AIX

Hello,

I just build an AIX 7.1 box. I'm trying to install the following packages:

BASH
APACHE
CVS
ZIP

I tired to download them searching on google, but unfortunately I dint find any packages concerned with aix7.1. I got stuck at this point and dont know where to download those packages and there dependencies.

Please guide me further.

Thank you.

Use this:

IBM AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications

The software there should run on AIX 7.1 too.

I hope this helps.

I cannot find anything related to apache install on aix 7.1. I did my research on this and found that I have to get the source and compile by myself.

If that is the only solution, can you please guide me to so.

Thank you.

Hmmm...

A quick search for "AIX download apache" gave me - along with 4.5 million other hits which i didn't check, because the following were all on the first page:

a hit on the Perzl site

Bulls freeware site, arguably a bit outdated, but still there

Or download the IBM HTTP Server, which is "based on the Apache HTTP Server"

This is now the second time i can get better and successful results using a 5-second run-of-the-mill search than you after "researching" (your words) the matter. What is wrong with your (re-)search habits?

You can of course, download the source, compile it, package it and and have your own installable version. IBMs site gives clear explanations on how to do this, SPEC-files for the rpm package manager and more. Be warned, though, that it might take a few searches on the net to successfully do it.

I hope this helps.

Linux toolbox is having ancients version of packages.
Try to look here IBM AIX Expansion Pack and Web Download Pack

i also package things. not a fancy site, but it works. i have been compiling on aix 6.1, so not sure if they work on aix 5.3.

site is dl.aixtools.net.

i do have bash and apache.

google for jsvn, i could not get a downloadable version of svn to work satisfactorily. svn has pretty much displaced cvs for source management.

zip is in all of the previously mentioned sites. unzip is enough.

i prefer bzip2 on AIX, it is installed by default. in my downloads i also have zx (or is it xz).
