Hi, this sunday was spent on trying to install VNC from the IBM Linux site. What a waste! I got stuck on all kinds of library dependencies when using the RPM tool to install vnc-3.3.3r1-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm. :-( It's complaining on perl (which is there!!) and libXext.a. Anyone can give me a hint...

Hi, Some advise please! I want to install VNC on a 4.3 system, but all I can find is a RPM called "vnc-3.3.3r1-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm". When I try to install this rpm -ivh, the following dependencies are missing: /usr/bin/perl is needed by vnc-3.3.3r1-2 libXext.a(shr.o) is needed by vnc-3.3.3r1-2...

The sym.link /unix to /usr/lib/boot/unix to the unix_up file!

Thanx p5! your tip did the trick :) Managed to copy the bos.up from the install CD and overwrite manually the unix_up file. :-D It was somewhat strange, because i AM running a UP system. It is an old AIX box, but somehow I only got into trouble when doing a MKSYSB or a ML update.... weird. I...

Hi Khz, Tried, but was unsuccessful. Used following lines to install the bos up # installp -acF -d /dev/cd0 bos.up and # installp -acFNQqSwX -d /dev/cd0 bos.up but both were unsuccessful and ended with the following error: FILESET STATISTICS ------------------ 1 Selected to be installed...

Hi, Strange problem: my usr/lib/boot/unix_up file has a size 0. This results in an error when installing ML11 on aix 4.3.3.0. lppchk -f --> lppchk: 0504-208 Size of /usr/lib/boot/unix_up is 0, expected value was 3281217. I have tried to re-install it serveral ways (smitty), but no success...

Hey, that is good news! I suggest I try a NIM install, or hook up an other SCSI drive. Thanx :)

Hi, I try to connect my IBM Infowindow II 3153 terminal to rs/6000, but no connection is made. It must be my terminal, because when connecting an other WYSE50 terminal it worx. Any suggestions what to do to check the terminal? note: The terminal beeps, comes up, shows setup menu, but no...

Hi P5Wizard, As you suggested, I did, but unfortunately the systems hangs on code 299. When I insert the ol' 4.3.3. disc in the CDROM all goes fine. But the 5.1 disc 'hangs'. On the CD no scratches whatsoever appear, so I presume the CD is fine. Thanx!

Hi, Is it possible to install AIX 5.1 on a 7006-410 MCA Server? Regards, Roy

yep, found that one too on comp.unix.aix and many more. I am the system is lost... I still have some hope it can be caused by a SCSI failure, which would make sense, but I got rid off all the SCSI stuff and the problem still occurs... no other codes whatsoever. thanx anywayz... Someone...

Hi, I am havinf some difficulties starting my old RS6000 (7006/260). The LED errorcode 186 comes up each time I start the machine. The problem popped up since I substituted the harddrive. My first thought was to put everything back when it was working fine. No succes and #186 is making my...
