First off check you version of aix.  Also you have to  install the zlib
packed, that is where you will find libz.a  library I had this very problem
and it took me a whie to hunt down aprpriate files.

I was on aix 4.3.0 and now 4.3.3(the zlib package needs thenewer OS.)  you
can look: on
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html

for the packages.

Enjoy,

Jack

Subject: can't find shr.o???


Mysql experts,
  I downloaded the binary distribution for AIX on a Risc/6000 and tried to
install it.  However, when I get to the mysql_install_db part I get the
following error which ultimately fails to complete.

# scripts/mysql_install_db
Could not load program ./bin/my_print_defaults:
        Dependent module /usr/local/lib/libz.a(shr.o) could not be loaded.
        Member shr.o is not found in archive 


What exactly does this mean?  Does this imply that it was precompiled with a
compiler and libraries that I don't have?  Note: We don't have Xlc
installed, but we do have gcc installed.  If so, does this mean I have to
compile from scratch with gcc?  Is there a binary distribution for aix
having been compiled with gcc?  Or is there another solution to this
problem?  Any thoughts on this matter are much appreciated.
