Can install python36 on RHEL7 with IBM PPC architecture?


I have searched for python36u package for RHEL7 with ppc architecture and I fail to find it.

I try below command on shell

sudo yum install python36u.ppc64le

and it downloads python36u package for x86_64 architecture.

Even python36u.ppc64le package is not found on Centos mirror.

Do I need to compile whole python36 source on powerpc?


Solution

  • It looks like the python36u packages are provided by the 'ius' repository, not the core RHEL7 repos.

    Additionally, it seems like the ius pacakges are not built for ppc64el.

    However, there do seem to be python36 (ie, not python36u) packages floating around for ppc64el though, in the epel collection:
