You put too long a value for the product - at least take off the .rpm, then remove extensions until you get what works - I just don't remember - I think you want to go all the way to removing .aix5.1

Also, I recommend using wgetv at first, until you don't get an error - that gives you a trial report of things without actually downloading anything.

Also be sure you have *SECOFR special authority.

Good luck!

I may be going in the wrong direction, but I tried to use wget to get the RPM from perzl.

It gave an error.

Subject: Re: [IBMiOSS] Update Ghostscript

Hi Justin

I am working on a change in printing here, and it involves PDFs - I installed the 9.06-2 version of GhostScript (with the docs), and it works fine so far with merging PDFs into a single PDF using device pdfwrite, as well as generating PCL for printing using device ljet4.

As for updating, I'm not sure - the perzl version installed in a "freeware" directory - down the path somewhere like /QOpenSys/var/opt or some such - I'm not at the system and can't remember the exact path.

I just wonder if your current GhostScript installation is in that location - if so, I expect using wget and rpm would just replace it. If not, you would maybe need to change your evocation to point to a new location.

Of course, you might have the knowledge I don't have, to move things around as needed.

HTH
