libiconv.so.2 could not be loaded

Question

I have problem with Samba on AIX. When I try to run /opt/pware64/sbin/smbd -V I get this error:

Could not load program /opt/pware64/sbin/smbd:
Dependent module /usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) could not be loaded.
Member libiconv.so.2 is not found in archive

The result of ldd /opt/pware64/sbin/smbd:

I hope for your help...

Please edit your post: quote the output of this command: `dump -H -X32_64 /opt/pware/sbin/smbd` — Zsigmond Lőrinczy, Apr 18 '17 at 18:48
Gives information about the executable. You can execute it as regular user. Also you can read the manual of `dump`. Or this: http://web.axelero.hu/lzsiga/aix-linking.html#Q0010 — Lorinczy Zsigmond, Apr 19 '17 at 08:34
Now try `ar -X32_64 tv /opt/pware64/lib/libiconv.a` and quote its output. If you don't have such file, you have to install component `libiconv` -- problem is these `pware64` packages seems to have died out years ago. Perhaps you should restart with perlz's packages: http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=main.samba#v3.6.x — Zsigmond Lőrinczy, Apr 20 '17 at 14:59
Also you should state your AIX's version: output of command `oslevel -r` — Zsigmond Lőrinczy, Apr 20 '17 at 15:08
@ZsigmondLőrinczy I attached commands output. It seems that libiconv component exists. — , May 02 '17 at 07:59
@aaaaaaauch Well, I think it should have found `/opt/pware64/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2)` before trying the nonexistent `/usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2)`. Unless you have set `LIBPATH` -- please check it. (Or if it is of 32-bit. Unlikely, but not impossible; `ar -X64 tv /opt/pware64/lib/libiconv.a` should give the same result as the previous.) — Zsigmond Lőrinczy, May 02 '17 at 17:29
Off-topic: libiconv.a has a speciality that I've discussed here: http://web.axelero.hu/lzsiga/aix-linking.html#Q0009 — Lorinczy Zsigmond, May 03 '17 at 09:42
