Don't use 2.1.6 on AIX, use 2.1.8 instead

Post by Keystone »

This is an FYI for those who are on AIX 7.x & higher

Notes from the tech who figured out how to get 2.1.6 working (all steps can be avoided by using 2.1.8)

"Openssl RPM library/module symlinks (/opt/freeware/lib/libssl.so and /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.so) are preventing ncpa_listener to start. When the symlinks are unlinked, listner starts without any issues. I must add the fact that the standard AIX command 'startsrc -s ncpa_listener' still doesn't start and it requires 'startsrc -e LIBPATH=/usr/local/ncpa -s ncpa_listener >/dev/null 2>&1' to start the listener."

"Though we can un-link the symlinks to get NCPA working, wget requires those links to function. Un-installing openssl RPM also helps however we cannot do that on all servers as other programs might also be depending on it."

Solution: Just use 2.1.8
