I try to install C complier on AIX 5.1 ML5. I don't know why it failed
and it required "bos.adt.libm 4.3.0.0". Is this fileset BaseOS on
4.3.0.0? Why it required on AIX 5.1? Should I find the fileset of AIX
4.3 to install? Your advice is very appriciated. Thanks

geninstall -I "a -cgNqwX -J" -Z -d . -f File 2>&1

File:
I:vac.C 6.0.0.0
I:vac.C.readme.ibm 6.0.0.0

I think this just means that it wants bos.adt.libm 4.3 or above. Check
your system; you probably just need to install bos.adt.libm from your
AIX 5.1 media.

Thank you very much. I've got it.
