So i don't think updating libgcc to latest level will cause any issue. Libgcc has a good backward compatibility. Is there any solution to this issue or should I simply not install rsync which the application team really needs to use? I see this rabbit hole going very deep and complex with a real chance that the applications on this server break. So far I only tried to install 1 of the depencies for rsync that led to more dependencies that may cause applications to break. It's likely that the GCC compiler would no longer be functional, correct? And, what about any applictions that were compiled with or use the runtime version of the current GCC and/or use the current version of the libgcc library? They may break as well? I have no idea how this could impact the applications already running on this production server. So it looks like just for the lz4 dependency, I would need to install a newer version of libgcc. Libgcc 4.2.4-2 C R GCC version 4.2.4 shared But there is a version of libgcc already installed and a gcc compiler. Libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) is needed by rsync-3.2.3-1.ppc Libiconv >= 1.14 is needed by rsync-3.2.3-1.ppc Libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.2) is needed by rsync-3.2.3-1.ppc As bad as the dependency chase is alone, how do we deal with the fact that a library exists but is actually an older version that won't support the package that needs to be installed as a depency for the rsync rpm? For example, Trying to install rsync-3.2.3-1, I get the following: The only option is to go through the dependency nightmare of rpm -i, check for dependency, download the dependency to my laptop, upload the rpm to my AIX server and try to install with rpm -i only to find a dependency on the dependency. Hi Ayappan, I need to install rsync on an AIX 7.1 production server that has no access to IBM open source yum repository. If not installed then how can i installed in aix server. I want to know rsync command installed in aix or not then how can i know. Please use yum to install AIX Toolbox rpms. Rysnc for AIX is available in AIX Toolbox ->

Is that the only way to install the rsync, first you have to setup yum and then do the yum install?

Rsync only new files aix
