AIX 5.3 Package Dependency

aix

I want to install gettext but i cannot because my AIX says that gettext is dependent on glib and when i try to install glib it says that I cannot because glib is in turn dependent on gettext.

Please let me know how I could get past this situation?

root [rover]% rpm -i gettext-0.17-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

error: failed dependencies:
        libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0) is needed by gettext-0.17-1

libxlsmp.a(smprt.o) is needed by gettext-0.17-1

root [rover]% rpm -i glib2-2.22.5-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

error: failed dependencies:
        gettext is needed by glib2-2.22.5-2

The solution is to install them both together (along with everything else it's going to insist is required:

rpm -i gettext-0.17-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm glib2-2.22.5-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
