Unfortunatelly, it has to be available in the rpm database to accept it.
You could bypass the dependency, but you may not be able to run the app
afterwards (but that will turn out real quick).
Otherwise you will have to install all of the dependencies (I would hope
that it installs to a different place than the aix libs).

okay, I bet this is pretty basic, but I'm stumped.
I'm trying to install some of the linuxtoosl from the aix/Linux toolbox
website. I have rpm installed
and apparently working. When I try to install a package, however, I get
dpednincy issues with libraries that I know
are available (libC.a for example)....any help? thanks.
/tmp/temp # env | grep LIB
LD_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
/tmp/temp # rpm -i /tmp/temp/xpdf-1.00-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
