I broken RPM :(
 

So I was installing some RPM packages in AIX 6.1 and not sure how it broke, but now RPM does not work. I get this message when trying to use it:

{root@nim:/opt/freeware/lib} 09:17:19 > rpm
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/opt/freeware/bin/rpm because of the following errors:
0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.1).

Can I just pull files from another AIX 6.1 server and put it on my broken one to resolve the issue?

First why were you using "rpm" and not "yum " ?
yum resolves the dependencies .

this is what RHEL 6 or RHEL 5 on the ibm server

i would contact RedHat tech support
you are paying a lot of cash for the server license

or
is some other OS like CentOS installed on the ibm server

AIX This forum is for the discussion of IBM AIX.

And, yes.

Find a similar level system and copy them over but check for links and stuff on the working system to see what is required.

Guess it means your /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a file got deleted/corrupted... And you cannot reinstall it without rpm, obviously.
Still, you can download it http://www.bullfreeware.com/download...aix6.1.ppc.rpm, extract the content (in a linux machine, with midnight commander), then manually copy the libraries to their place.

PS: Or, as you have suggested, copy from another AIX computer.
