Hey Mills,I did this perhaps 2 and half years back.This is basically an RPM that you can find in IBM's siteor any other linuxsite.I know that you guys are smart enough to find this. So there shouldn't beany problem.make sure that you are downloading the correct version of GCC that iscompatible with your version of OS.Download this on the desktop of your machine.then ftp this to the folder located in your AIX lpar as follows:1)go for the run in your desktop.

Then type cmd. This will open DOS.2)now cd to the destop.3)# ftp serverIPloginuser specify the usernamepassword - specify the passwordcd thefolderofgccinlparaixhashbinpromptmput.gccversiontobeinstalled.byenext up login the server and access the folder containing the gcc.now run this command:. rpm -ivh gccversiontobeinstalled.or you can use.smitty install. also.after installation make sure of its being successful by:#.rpm -q gccversiontobeinstalled.or.# which gcc.if you face any problem furthermore.

Contact me at +958.Now say thanks and cheers to me. Just kidding dear.please never mind. Take carethanks and cheersRajL3 AIX administartor+958India. Hi Bman60,Thanks for letting us know.

We share in your success, coz AIX works, you win and we win in knowing there are more Neos and Morpheous'es (and Trinitys - thank goodness for that) in this matrix:-).I trust you have more knowledge and confidence on this now.I also trust you know how people's context overrides the content when they throw one-liners at Toolbox - where the trend is that they would find their answers in documentation they could read. With this regard, I'd pull my 'RTFM' statement back and say something else to keep you having feeling good and always come back with more answers and questions.' Something else, else some something something'Jaco Bezuidenhout076 3 983 5298. I don't want to cast any stones here but I highly doubt anyone who answered this post actually successfully installed the GCC compiler on AIX 7.1. I say that because I have already tried the versions on the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications and the RPM's available from P-Ware, Perzl and a few other up to date sites without success.

I even tried building my own GCC compiler but some of the libraries needed for the build have not been compiled on AIX 7.1 yet. I have spent many hours on Google researching why I can't install some of the older binaries that are available and have found that GCC needs to be compiled on the same version of AIX that it will run on. I'm asking for help from this forum because I realize that there are people out there who are much smarter than me and maybe one of them has figured out how to get GCC onto AIX 7.1. I want the GCC compiler so I don't have to purchase the IBM C compiler which is not cross platform friendly. I would also like a more up to date C compiler than the one currently offered on the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications by IBM.

So you did not win. Sorry to hear. Over here we stay away from AIX 7.1 for another year or so, then will possibly look into it.We had way too many hickups and issues with 7.1 - especially libraries.pointing towards serious reworking on the OS side.

V6.1 TL6 SP2 is doing just fine and will be idling there for a while. Too many APARS and stuff coming out. It seems some of the wheels are buckling with what we currently have. SDMC replacing HMC. Power 8 on its way, 7.1 definitely different to 6.and they certified 'binary compatibility' across all AIX, so ask IBM these questions and share with us what they are up to.Jaco Bezuidenhout076 3 983 5298.

In order to install the software, you must install RPM - the RPM Package Manager.

Since you can't install rpm initially with rpm, rpm is available in installp format. RPM package manager is available on base AIX or you can install the installp image of RPM, which is available from the AIX toolbox repository as installp/ppc/rpm.rte. You install rpm as root as in the following example: installp -qacXgd rpm.rte rpm.rteThe installation will take a few minutes because it needs to gather information about the shared libraries already installed on the system.

Full information on using RPM can be found at www.rpm.org. The basic installation operations are:.i: install.e: erase.q: query.help: helpFor example, if you were interested in installing the package which provides the less page program, you would access the RPM package for less (as less-374-2.aix5.1.rpm.ppc in this example), then invoke rpm: rpm -i less-374-2.aix5.1.rpm.ppcYou can install multiple packages at one time, as in rpm -i. It is a good idea when doing that to use the verbose (-v) flag; otherwise, rpm does not give any feedback unless there are errors. It is a goal of this project for you to be able to run the open source software without modification on your AIX system. The software is installed in the default location for the software, but there are symbolic links into the normal directories so that you may begin to use the software immediately. In some cases where an open source deliverable conflicts with an AIX deliverable, the link is not available, so an alternate PATH must be used. When there are conflicts with AIX commands and libraries, the link is placed in /usr/linux.

For example, you will find a link to the GNU version of sed and other basic GNU commands in /usr/linux/bin (after you've installed the RPM packages for those commands). In order to access the man pages from the toolbox, add /opt/freeware/man to your MANPATH environment variable.
