Sophos 4.78 for AIX 5.2 not found?

We are using unmanaged Sophos on AIX5.2.

According to your website AIX 5.2 should be supported until 2013.

However, we cannot download Sophos 4.78 for AIX 5.2 from web site.

The AIX version just work for AIX 5.3+, not work on AIX 5.2.

Any idea?

Errow msg of running Sophos 4.78 on AIX 5.2.

# /usr/local/bin/sweep -v

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/local/bin/sweep because of the following errors:

        0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for sweep because:

        0509-136   Symbol __pth_init (number 85) is not exported from

                   dependent module /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o).

        0509-136   Symbol __pthread (number 86) is not exported from

                   dependent module /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o).

                 'dump -Tv' command.

Thanks!!

  • Hi,

    Sophos has retired support for any AIX version below AIX 5.3 TL8+ in March 2012.  This was documented on our Software Lifecycle page for some time.  Unfortunately, this page was incorrectly updated when Sophos.com was redesigned, and the current page does not reflect this.  We have informed our Product Management team and the documentation will be updated as soon as possible.  Apologies for the error.

    Because we no longer support AIX 5.2 we have released an improved build (that uses a newer compiler). 

    The previous build of Sophos Anti-Virus version 4 (that supports AIX 5.2+) is still accessible using a direct link:

    http://downloads.sophos.com/full/aix.tar.Z

    Be advised however, we will be removing this package completely in September.  In order to maintain support we would recommend to upgrade your OS.

    Many Thanks,

    Tom.
