New AIX system requirements for upcoming IBM HTTP Server maintenance

Flashes (Alerts)


Abstract

IBM HTTP Server (IHS) will soon require updated AIX dependencies.

Content

Upcoming maintenance for IBM HTTP Server (IHS) and the WebSphere WebServer Plug-in will require libc++.rte version 17.1.2.0 or higher. This is a dependency of SSL support.

The updated levels are compatible with all earlier maintenance levels of IHS and the WebSphere Plug-in.  Prior levels of these components only required version 16.x.

The installed version can be displayed using lslpp -l:

 $ lslpp -l libc++.rte libc++abi.rte
 Fileset                      Level  State      Description
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
 libc++.rte                17.1.3.0  COMMITTED  OpenMP header files
 libc++abi.rte             17.1.3.0  COMMITTED  OpenMP header files

When a compatible version is not installed, the failure symptom will resemble the following:

Dependent module /usr/lib/libc++.a(shr2_64.o) could not be loaded.
Member shr2_64.o is not found in archive
