AIXPDSLIB (r.i.p.) was a server at the University of California Los
Angeles that did rebuilds of popular open source packages for old
versions of AIX (3, 4 and 5). It was invaluable to me on the old
incarnation of Floodgap running on the Apple Network Server 500
and AIX 4.1.5. Unfortunately, it was discontinued for budgetary
reasons and its mirrors all gradually disappeared. Sadly, I had not
thought to mirror it at the time.
This is all the binary packages I have left in my archives. These
worked when I used them on my ANS 500, and should work on any
RS/6000 that is running at least AIX 4.1, but there's no guarantee
that they will work on your system. A selection of 3.2.5-compatible
packages are also available, along with whatever remaining source
code packages I still have. I DO NOT MAINTAIN THESE PACKAGES AND
HAVE NO PLANS TO DO SO. THIS IS ALL YOU GET. YOU USE THEM
AT YOUR OWN RISK. SECURITY HOLES ARE LIKELY IN THESE OLD VERSIONS.
It is entirely possible that some of these packages may be
missing some or all of their prerequisites. Sorry about that.
Although these packages will almost certainly work on later
versions of AIX, perzl.org is a better source for AIX 5+.
My advice is, get gcc and any other build tools you need to get
started, and then compile better stuff.
