AIX 7.1 /usr/css/bin/dbx32 not found

[zeromous]

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out why AIX 7.1 installations in my environment do not have dbx32 installed (required for 32bit debugging). Typically this fileset is found in bos.adt.debug.

I have browsed CD, installed latest bos.adt.debug from IBM site (7.1.0.15) and have had no luck tracking down this file on my 7.1 machines. 6.1 and older machines all seem to have it.

I've even tried copying over dbx32 from AIX6.1 since its supposed to be binary compatible, but I this produces library errors with the existing libraries in 7.1

Any ideas? I am stumped!

On AIX 6.1:
# lslpp -l bos.adt.debug
Fileset Level State Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
bos.adt.debug 6.1.6.0 COMMITTED Base Application Development
Debuggers

# lslpp -w /usr/ccs/bin/dbx32
File Fileset Type
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/ccs/bin/dbx32 bos.adt.debug File





On AIX 7.1:
# lslpp -l bos.adt.debug
Fileset Level State Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
bos.adt.debug 7.1.0.15 COMMITTED Base Application Development

# lslpp -w /usr/ccs/bin/dbx
File Fileset Type
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/ccs/bin/dbx bos.adt.debug File
# lslpp -w /usr/ccs/bin/dbx32

I'll answer my own question:


According to IBM support dbx32 is not in the current 7.1.0.15 release (as suspected). It may be released as part of a later update next year
