GNU findutils

Hi, We are running 64-bit AIX 6.1. I have gcc 4.2.0 on our system. I'd like to get the latest copy of GNU findutils on the server. From what I see, I have two basic options: 1) download source code and compile using gcc or 2) download rpm and install. Would someone please point me in the right direction? I'd also appreciate pointers to a tutorial or two so that I can get the software installed and working. Thanks very much.

Compiling GNU tools yourself often require a number of technical conditions being satisfied first. This can be a hassle. Secondly find and xargs are part of the AIX OS already so at least these two tools would be available in two different version on your server which might lead to confusion.
Start with the findutils RPM from Michael Perzl's site. If you don't like it or if you find that the utils that come with the OS are sufficient you can uninstall the software cleanly from the server.
