Installing Wget

UNIX AIX
1

Hello,

I've been installing wget, but I keep getting errors.

This command got the job done, but I get errors trying to run wget.

rpm -i wget-1.9.1-2ssl.aix5.3.ppc.rpm --nodeps

Error msg:

# wget
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program wget because of the following errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.8) cou
ld not be loaded.
        0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.8).
        0509-026 System error: There are too many levels of symbolic links to tr
anslate a path name.

How Can I solve thiis?

Something's wrong with libcrypto. ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypto.a, and check what points to it, etc, etc. How was libcrypto installed, do you know?

# ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypto.a
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           29 Mar 13 10:02 /usr/lib/libcrypto.a -
> /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a

And I do not know how was it installed because I got it just they way it is now. But I need to get wget working :confused:

That is a very odd place to have libcrypto... now ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a and so forth.

[edit] system obviously not linux, pardon me.

it's AIX.

Run this and try again:

unset LIBPATH

My samba install use to do that.
