Python Installation - Execute Permissions

[melvyn burnard]

well the simple answer is it depends.
I say that as I have seen this origionally where Oracle binaries are compiled on a PARISC 2.0 serevr, then copied to a PARISC 1.x server.
Some of the exectuables wporked, others failed with exactly the same symptoms you see. I am not exactly a compiler or language expert, so I do not have a definitive answer as to why.

But if you were rebuilding this old box, would you be recommending compiling the source for each app, so I don't end up with issue downs the road? From what I can see it hard to find compiled binaries for PA-RISC 2.0, so I pretty much have no option.

I'm new to the Unix world of installing apps, and I'm assuming that if perform the compilation right on the box, to do the install, that it will work way better than trying to install the PA-RISC 2.0 depots.

>Can any PA-RISC 2 compiled code run on PA-RISC 1.1? or do I have to compile all the code on my system for the PA-RISC 1.1 architecture to work properly.

No. Yes, you should compile with +DAportable.

I don't see how. Unless it just says for PA2.0 and not "Only for PA 2.0".

Thanks to all.
