Thanks for the reply!

Well, i was in a bit of a rush yesterday, so I could not post the lslpp output, but i packed everything on the box what AIX provides. Which is quite a lot. My output mirrors yours perfectly, so I guess i have not forgotten anything.

Too bad if there is no support for very old/unusual charsets in the AIX iconv. I was forced to install the GNU libiconv parallel to the one AIX provides to get the KOI-8 support at least.

So i guess since there is no wine, i will continue to whine..

Currently AIX 0:GNU 1

Regards,

The Mad Hatter (with his mourning Hat today..)

If by "from source" you mean the AIX cdrom's - I believe the answer is yes. I only have the common iconv filesets installed - but there are MANY if I recall some of the update files.

On a VIO Server, which is meant to have more langguages installed the same command gives a lot more....

So, Mad Hatter - Have some wine! Cool

- er except, I dont see KOI-8 - so, as the story goes - "Alice: but I dont see any wine." Mad Hatter: "there isn't any wine!"

Do you see what you need? There may be more, but this is all I can find for now.

iconv support for KOI-x

« on: March 26, 2008, 04:21:19 PM »

Hello!

I wonder if anyone ever came across the problem to use iconv in an AIX environment. I have now...

Unfortunately, my iconv -l command shows a meager list which does not include any of the old cyrillic encodings (KOI-7/KOI-8 etc.).

Do I have to install the iconv-package from source to gain access to those?

Thanks in advance!

The Mad Hatter..
