Issue/Introduction
Installed the A2A client on AIX 7.1, and when starting up the client daemon, it would not register with the PAM server
The client log has the following error.
INFO: Fri January 18 10:04:24.069 CST 2019 ApplicationCSPM::initHttpService. CSP
M Daemon is on line...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: cwjcafips (Not found
in java.library.path)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibraryWithPath(ClassLoader.java:1426)
This is a problem with the class loader and yet the installer had created the dependency folder as specified in the following note:
Note that the installer will create (or ask the user to create if not run as root), the directory '/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0 even on AIX 6 hosts. This directory must NOT be deleted even though it will look very peculiar on an AIX 6 host.
The client log has the following error.

Environment
AIX 7.1 (we modified the install script to allow installation on AIX 7.
Cause
Problem was caused by re-installing the AIX client on the same machine, but in a different directory.
The installer asks if we want to install in the /opt directory. We said 'no', and put /opt/cloakware.
That put everything in /opt/cloakware/cloakware, so we re-installed, saying 'yes' to the '/opt' directory.
The second installation saw that the /opt/freeware directory was created and did not recreate it.
# pwd -P
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/ppc64
# ls -l

Check the symbolic link in
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/ppc64
It will need to be modified if you have installed the same client twice, the second time in a new directory.
cd /opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/ppc64
ln -s $CSPM_CLIENT_HOME/lib/ppc64/libstdc++.a libstdc++.a
