This is odd. I have -bash-4.1$ oslevel -rq Known Recommended Maintenance Levels ------------------------------------ 5300-12 5300-11 5300-10 5300-09 5300-08 5300-07 5300-06 5300-05 5300-04 5300-03 5300-02 5300-01 5300-00 and whilst I can't see how to get the information on the service pack, I have service pack 2. https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IZ83065 dated 17th Jan 2011. So why am I getting the error on this bug report (ld: 0711-593 SEVERE ERROR: Symbol C_BSTAT) and not ld: 0711-596 SEVERE ERROR? If I understand you correctly, you are saying ld: 0711-593 SEVERE ERROR: Symbol C_BSTAT) was fixed in AIX 5.3 5300-10 Service Pack 3, which is dated March 24, 2010 https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1SSRVAIX53TL10071505_161 That is some 10 months prior to the service pack I have. I suspect I am mis-understanding something. I'm using a 32-bit RS/6000 7025 F50, with 4 x 332 MHz CPUs, 3 GB RAM, which I know is an antique in computer terms. Dave
