X-server installing problem on AIX-3.2.5
Kai Fritsch
Hi all,
I've successful installed the Enhancement 5 for AIX-3.2 on a IBM 570.
But if I try to install the X11rte.obj 1.2.3.0.U409194 (AIXwindows
Runtime Env.), I've got the following error:
...
The number of restored files is 2.
X server is linking...
0706-317 ERROR: Unresolved or undefined symbols detected:
Symbols in error (followed by reference) are

The -bloadmap:<filename> option will create a load map
.smselect

.smaccept
.smgetbuff
.smfreebuff
.smrcvbuff
.DirectAccessExtentionInit
.smattach
.smdeatt
Script Failure './X11rte.obj.post_u'
...
I think, I need some network libs. Where can I find the libs (revision &
path) ?
Regards,
Kai.

(maniacal laugh) Nyahahahahaha! You have been trapped by the evil
U409194 demon! Resistance is futile! There is no way out!
Translation: U409194 is broken. Seriously broken. Broken so bad,
when installed at the "wrong" time it cannot complete and it cannot
be removed.

You need one of two things:
1) A working version of the U409194 PTF. I managed to get a copy of it
from some dusty corner of the IBM FTP server one day -- I don't know
if it is still available, or if IBM was polite enough to put it into
fixdist. You might want to check fixdist and see what's there.
2) My fix script. When I posted about this problem to comp.unix.aix,
a kind IBM'er sent me a fix script that almost worked (my apologies
to Gerald, I seem to have lost his full name and email). After fixing
this problem for a few machines, I automated the procedure as follows:
--------------------------------------
# At long last, the solution to the pesky U409194 broken PTF problem.
# Run this script on the affected machine -- it should fix it and even do
# a little cleanup after itself.
# Hi Ed, If your still having problems try the following after loging in as root
mkdir -p /usr/lpp/pcsim/
# create script /usr/lpp/pcsim/lpp.X11
cat > /usr/lpp/pcsim/lpp.X11 <<\END_OF_FILE
#!/bin/ksh
set -x

then

then

rm /usr/lpp/pcsim/lpp.X11
# run the installation of U409194.
#
# I have not tried this myself but from looking at the where the failure occurs
# I think this will allow you to install U409194.
#
# After applying U409194 you will need to remove /usr/lpp/pcsim/lpp.X11.
