Do you have direct Internet access from the machine? In a corporate environment I would guess not and you need to set your proxy server.

Get the version of the C libraries installed on an AIX server

I believe the "lslpp" command would give you what you need, or even "smitty software".

lslpp -al

Will you show you all software packages installed.

How to tell which AIX version am I running

You are correct in the fact that oslevel will give you the current installed version, but that is not always enough information particularily if you are asked the question by support personnel.

# oslevel <--- this will only give you the Base Level

To be more precise you should use the following command which will give you additional Technology Level, Maintenance Level and Service Pack level information.

    # oslevel -s
5300-09-02-0849

This will give you

"5300" - Base Level
"09" - Technology Level
"02" - Maintenance Level
"0849" - Service Pack

On some older versions of AIX the -s option is not available in whichh cas you should use the -r option which will report as far as the Technology level

I hope this helps
