Re: Self Decrypting Archive using a Pass Phrase

Hi Chris,

The thing that it's asking for (libstdc++.so.6) is roughly the equivalent of a *SRVPGM in ILE, or a DLL on Windows. It's a compiled object containing routines that 7z needs to run.

Obviously, I have this libstdc++.so.6 on my system, and you don't have it on yours... the next question is, what did I install that included it? hmmm....

My guess is that libstdc++.so.6 is part of the C++ runtime used by GNU C++ (which is the compiler I used to compile 7z). I currently have GCC version 4.1.1 installed in PASE. I suspect that's what you're missing. You can get a copy here:

Thank you for the suggestion Scott. I have downloaded the 7-Zip from
your link and have it installed as per your instruction but I am missing
something here. Here is the error message I am receiving:

I am not a unix person so I am not sure where to begin. I have tried to
CD to server directories and it does not make much of a difference. I
believe I do not have the environment setup correctly. Any pointers?

Would 7-zip work for you? It's open source, and provides 256-bit AES encryption support.

I managed to get it to work under IBM i (tested on V5R4) in PASE. Details of that can be found here:

I haven't used it in production, however, just in some proof-of-concept things, and it seemed to work. I don't know if it's suitable for your purposes, but might be worth looking at.
