Rescan font cache
/opt/freeware/bin/fc-cache -s
Definitely use this setup in
etc/lpar2rrd.cfg (adjust last path you your product home is not in /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd)
PERL=/opt/freeware/bin/perl
RRDTOOL=/opt/freeware/bin/rrdtool
PERL5LIB=/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/bin:/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/vmware-lib:/opt/freeware/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/ppc-thread-multi:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.10.1/aix-thread-multi:/opt/freeware/lib/perl/5.8.8:/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/lib
Problems and their resolutions
-
If you get an error about complaing non existency X11 libraries then install standard X11 packages from AIX distribution:
# rpm -Uvh libXrender-0.9.8-1.*.ppc.rpm
error: failed dependencies: libX11.a(shr4.o) is needed by libXrender-0.9.8-1
# lslpp -L|egrep "X11.base|X11.compat|X11.fnt"
Instal this packages together with their prerequisites from the AIX install media:
- X11.base
- X11.compat
- X11.fnt
When you still experience that error then try to refresh RPM info by:
# /usr/sbin/updtvpkg
And try installation again ...
-
Another problem you might experience during libXrender upgrade:
# rpm -Uvh libXrender-0.9.8-1.*.ppc.rpm
file /opt/freeware/lib/libXrender.a from install of libXrender-0.9.8-1 conflicts with file from package xrender-0.9.1-3
Solution:
# rpm -e xrender-0.9.1-3
# rpm -Uvh libXrender-0.9.8-1.*.ppc.rpm

Another error which might appear:
# su - lpar2rrd
$ cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd
$ . etc/lpar2rrd.cfg
$ rrdtool -v
Could not load module rrdtool.
Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libcairo.a(libcairo.so.2) could not be loaded.
Could not load module .
Could not load program /opt/freeware/bin/rrdtool:
Could not load module /opt/freeware/lib/libcairo.a(libcairo.so.2).
Dependent module /usr/lib/libXrender.a(libXrender.so.1) could not be loaded.
Member libXrender.so.1 is not found in archive
Solution:
Suppose you have 2 SSL package installed.
# lslpp -L |grep openssl
openssl.base 1.0.2.800 C F Open Secure Socket Layer
openssl.man.en_US 1.0.2.800 C F Open Secure Socket Layer
openssl 1.0.1g-1 C R Secure Sockets Layer and
# rpm -qa |grep openssl
openssl-1.0.1g-1
Then remove RPM one, which is only rrdtool prerequisite
# rpm -e openssl-1.0.0g-1 --nodeps # adjust version number if necessary
Try it again, it should work
# su - lpar2rrd
$ cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd
$ . etc/lpar2rrd.cfg
$ rrdtool -v

...
If not then placing below LIBPATH into /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/etc/.magic might help as well.
su - lpar2rrd
cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd
umask 022
echo " export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib" >> etc/.magic
and try "rrdtool -v" again
- Same error as above which appeared after AIX update to 7100-05-01 but above solution did not work.
Try this solution:
# cp -p /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R7/libX11.a /opt/freeware/lib/libX11.a
