vim on AIX

Hello

I am trying to install vim on an AIX 5.3 server. I am using the 6.3 vim runtimes. when executing, i run into the following problem:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/local/bin/vim because of the following
errors:
0509-150 Dependent module libtermcap.a(shr.o) could not be loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libtermcap.a(shr.o).
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.

I cannot find any info on this libtermcap.a. Has anyone else ran into this issue or know how to fix??

Thanks
Mike

Odd you cannot find any info on libtermcap.a because google gives 16300 hits.
The library libtermcap.a is contained in the bos.compat.termcap fileset.

Thanks very much. I guess I should have said, I could not find where to get it. I keep keying in on the "libtermcap.a" and did not find it when I looked on the install media.

Everything works and my users are happy. Thanks again

Mike
