I just recently updated a box from AIX 5.2 to 5.3 ML0, then to ML4 and
finally ML4-SP4+CSP.

However the developers are now complaining that libm.a is missing. The
package is installed:

# lslpp -L | grep bos.adt
bos.adt.base 5.3.0.40 C F Base Application
Development
bos.adt.include 5.3.0.42 C F Base Application
Development
bos.adt.lib 5.3.0.40 C F Base Application
Development
bos.adt.libm 5.3.0.40 C F Base Application
Development

However if i do a find, there is no libm.a files. Any ideas on how to
resolve this?

# lslpp -f bos.adt.libm
Fileset File

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
bos.adt.libm 5.3.0.0 /usr/lib/libm_r.a -> /usr/ccs/lib/libm_r.a
bos.adt.libm 5.3.0.0 /usr/ccs/lib/libmsaa.a
/usr/ccs/lib/libm_r.a -> /usr/ccs/lib/libm.a
/usr/lib/libmsaa.a -> /usr/ccs/lib/libmsaa.a
/usr/ccs/lib/libmsaa_r.a -> /usr/ccs/lib/
libmsaa.a
/usr/ccs/lib/libm.a
/usr/lib/libblas.a
/usr/lib/libm.a -> /usr/ccs/lib/libm.a
/usr/lib/libmsaa_r.a -> /usr/ccs/lib/
libmsaa_r.a

So obviously the full package isnt installed. However when i search
the CDs I used, i cannot find bos.adt.libm.

Verify that the file is really installed.

List files installed by a package
$ lslpp -f bos.adt.libm

Verify installed package
$ lppchk -f bos.adt.libm

Hmmm

Even after installing from the cd, i still cant seem to see it in /usr/
lib. The lslpp -f is still the same also....

The lslpp -f gives you the file which are installed by a package.
To verify a package installation you should use the lppchk command.

BTW: ML4 is pretty outdated but in case you go tp the latest version
be aware that the pthread library changed causing problems with oracle
and gpfs and maybe other programs as well.

I know its well out of date, but we have a "minimum" requirement, so
our boxes are generally kept well out of date, as our customers very
rarely update their systems. AFAIK we have some poeple running solaris
7 or AIX 4.3!

Anyways:

# lppchk -f bos.adt.libm
lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/ccs/lib/libm.a could not be located.
lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/lib/libm.a could not be located.

Question is how do i force this to install? I tried to force an
install over the previous version but when i press Esc-4 in smit, it
only shows two options under bos.adt - bos.adt.data and the printer
support. Previously there had been 6 options

In case you have a DVD or a lpp_source with all fileset.
$ cd PathToMyLppSource && installp -d . -F bos.adt.libm

After that check with lppchk again. If Ok go for an update of this
package.
$ cd PathToMyLppSource && update_all -d . -B -aX bos.adt.libm

and redo the lppchk. Maybe the base or update package are corrupted.

That hadnt worked. I managed to do it by uninstalling the libm package
and then forcing the reinstall of the bos.adt package (on the cd its
all bundled together) i was then able to update the whole package to
ML4 9and part of it to ML4 SP4 CSP)

thanks for your help! All is working now
