Ok, the next step then is to query RPM on the system that has curl installed to find out what package RPM thinks provided the library. "rpm -qf /path/to/libc.a" Then check to see if that is installed on the system where curl doesn't want to go on. If RPM says that the file is not owned by any package, then someone did an "rpm -i --nodeps" to install it on the first machine.

I just don't see where the problem is in terms of library support... (...going to rpm -qa on both machines...) I just did that, then did a diff on the two files and came up with a handful of apps not installed on the problem machine (like curl) but the libraries and toolkits are all at the same levels.

Delete now or forever hold your peace ;-) Anyway, I'm attempting to install curl from the IBM AIX toolkit downloads page, and the rpm fails on: error: failed dependencies: libc.a(shr.o) is needed by curl-7.9.3-2 But I've got libc.a installed. I've got another machine configured exactly the same and I was able to install the rpm on that machine fine. If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it! Now back to your regularly scheduled program...
