liblpp.a contains the installp packaging metadata for the fileset. Every AIX fileset (package) contains a liblpp.a with the fileset specific packaging information.
The actual SMP runtime libraries are not shipped in xlsmp.rte, they are in the dependent fileset xlsmp.aix53.rte, and the paths of those libraries are:
- /usr/lpp/xlsmp/aix53/libxlomp_ser.a
- /usr/lpp/xlsmp/aix53/libxlsmp.a
- /usr/lpp/xlsmp/aix53/libxlsmpdebug.a
xlsmp is the IBM XL compiler's Shared-memory parallelism (SMP) runtime library/environment. Here's some reference pages from the Knowledge Center:
