Re: [IBMiOSS] RPM dependencies (was Update Ghostscript)

After my last post, I went back to the install instructions. I opened the script, and what did I see? Plain old "wget" and "rpm" commands! Armed with this new knowledge, I went to perzl and found the latest Ghostscript. It failed with some dependency errors. I went back to perzl and found app bundles, which I assumed to be groups to be installed together to resolve all dependencies. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I wrote a script to install the entire bundle, but it still failed with unresolved dependencies. When I get time, I'm going to head back to perzl and see if I can find a way to fix this.


I figured out the *SECOFR thing. The many page security audit report from yesterday clued me in on that one.

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!
