Dude... Um, like most versions of commercial unix, you install these apps yourself. This is the way it has always been. AIX distro != Linux / BSD. If IBM included standard opensource utils with the OS, they would be expected to support them which they don't want to do. Compiling up a suite of tools is just part of what you have to do to get an aix box ready for use.
