This is starting to all make sense now Smilie

I am making progress, I have downloaded the "binary" version of the software from perlz.org and grabbed the dependency list and downloaded all using wget as described in the FAQ.


I put all the dependencies and the binary file I am trying to install (samba-3.6.22-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm) in one directory and ran "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" and it returned with..

Code:
dr-host# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libX11.a(shr4.o) is needed by cairo-1.12.12-1
        libXext.a(shr.o) is needed by cairo-1.12.12-1
        libX11.a(shr4.o) is needed by cairo-1.12.14-1
        libXext.a(shr.o) is needed by cairo-1.12.14-1
        libX11.a(shr4.o) is needed by gtk2-2.20.1-2
        libXext.a(shr.o) is needed by gtk2-2.20.1-2
        libX11.a(shr4.o) is needed by libXcursor-1.1.14-1
        pkg-config is needed by libXcursor-devel-1.1.14-1
        libX11.a(shr4.o) is needed by libXrender-0.9.8-1
        libX11.a(shr4.o) is needed by pango-1.24.5-1

From what I've gathered this particular library is from AIX's X11 which I do not have installed as we don't use the GUI.

Code:
dr-host# lslpp -L | grep X11.base.rte
dr-host#

This returns nothing, so I need this installed.. I could not find the libraries or perlz.org so I assume this has to come directly from IBM.

Is there a way to install this using SUMA (to remotely get it from IBM web as I don't have CDs?).

My oslevel -r is 7100-01 and oslevel -g shows "Actual Level = 7.1.1.15".

Installing the X11 filesets, will this enable the GUI or just make the files available? This would be unwanted results as we try to keep the system resources to a minimum so things like X11 GUI not used.

Thanks for your help.

The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY] Use --initdb to create a new database if one doesn't already exist (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild the database indices from the installed package headers. SEE ALSO
