How to download and install gcc for AIX 7?

I am new to installation work and AIX machine. I have gone through many sites and found it very difficult to follow/unrelated. I did find / | grep gcc and found only one gcc folder which cannot be executed. I tried installing gcc using the rpm - libgcc8-8.3.0-5.aix7.2.ppc.rpm and libgcc-8-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm, still gcc not found. I will be thankful if I find some help on downloading and installing gcc in AIX machine. Please help.

# uname -v
7
# uname -a
AIX twa-aix72-01 2 7 00FB3B744C00

Solution

  • Used yum install gcc and then gave which gcc, I am able to see the gcc file path then. This worked. Yum downloads gcc package and installs I guess. For more details, please check the comments.
