On the distribution media that came with your system.
But (As I already wrote)
I try install bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.0 from AIX CD1
# installp -p -a -F -d /dev/cd0 -w bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.0
Missing Filesets
----------------
The following filesets could not be found on the installation media.
I install AIX from this CD and installed AIX have libpthreads 5.3.0.0.
I am in confusion :(
No, it should have a level of bos.rte.libpthreads that is in an install
format (as opposed to update). For example, I just looked at my
2/2005 version of 5.3, and I have bos.rte.libpthreads_5.3.0.10.bff,
which is an install file. You might not have 5.3.0.0, but you should
have a base _install_ image.
Try force-installing whichever level of libpthreads you have on your
CD. If you need to get the name, mount the CD and look in
/installp/ppc, or use smit.
To find the version you need for your forced installation do:
$ installp -d /dev/cd0 -L | grep bos.rte.libpthreads
or just simply do
$ installp -d /dev/cd0 -a -F bos.rte.libpthreads
if the installed version after installation is lower then the highest
version on the CD you should upgrade the system to the highest level
$installp -d /dev/cd0 -a bos.rte.libpthreads

And even
# installp -d /dev/cd0 -L | grep bos.rte
Gives me the empty list.
Is the cd-rom mounted ? If so: umount the cd-rom and redo the above
steps.
Or
change in the above example cd0 to the mount point of the cd-rom device
( in case its mounted and i thinks its /cdrom but the mount comand
should show the mount point )
So your line should looks like:
installp -d /dev/cd0 -L # In case the cdrom is not mounted
installp -d /cdrom -L # In case the cd-rom is mounted on /cdrom

You have AIX 5.3 ?
Please check # installp -d /dev/cd0 -L | grep bos.rte.libpthreads
The CD has been mounted on a Linux box and exported via NFS to an AIX
Server
On the AIX bos the output of the command is:
204$ installp -d /mnt -l | grep bos.rte.libpthreads
bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.30 S N usr
208$ installp -d /mnt -L | grep bos.rte.libpthreads
