WebSphere MQ for AIX®, Version 6.0 runs on any machine that supports the AIX5L V5.3 operating systems capable of running 64-bit programs whether from IBM® or other vendors.

Operating System
The operating systems supported by WebSphere MQ for AIX, Version 6.0 are:

* AIX5L V5.2 (plus maintenance Level 3)
* AIX5L V5.3
* AIX V5.3 and later


The first paragraph leads me to believe I need AIX5L V5.3 that can run 64-bit programs.

The second paragraph leads me to believe that AIX5L V5.2 (with maintenance level 3) will suffice.

Whats up? Does this mean that I can use MQ6 with AIX5L V5.2 but the machine that it runs on should support AIX5L V5.3? I guess so but this seems very odd.

I've checked the packages and they prereq AIX 5.2
