Is it possible to install RPM based GCC on AIX in user space or non-privileged user? No. RPM is not designed for non root installation of packages. > 2. Is there any instruction as how to do so? You can try to extract the content of the package with rpm2cpio. Still - depending on the package - there might still be compiled in paths that do not allow the software to be used outside its regular place. If this is the case you are better recompiling the software via make; make install.
