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

I wrote a script to install the entire bundle, but it still failed with

unresolved dependencies.

Which dependencies are still unresolved?

Also, the following link is for the pkg_setup.sh script and it has code to
massage a couple things (i.e. libiconv): http://bit.ly/2cUwg3d I convey
this to you because pkg_setup.sh is the "Easy button" way to install stuff.
You've ventured into the wilderness (which rocks, btw) so it's good to know
of the "gotchas".

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!
