I did find a site from google that said the pthread was the result of using 
an old compiler so now I'm trying to get that installed - and running into 
other issues, of course.  I find 100s of sites re

# rpm -ivh gettext-0.10.40-8.aix5.2.ppc.rpm libiconv-1.14-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
error: failed dependencies:

but nothing with a firm description on how to fix it... My problem, though.

If it were *my* choice!  I haven't touched AIX in over 10 years.. haven't 
programmed C in over 20 - and that was on DOS systems.  Got to love a 
challenge!

Thanks for the responses.  I appreciate it.
