where did libsparse.a go?

[Joseph Hartvigsen]

I am trying to compile an application that links to libsparse.a which at one point was included with the MLIB. My current MLIB 8.5 does not have this (HP-UX B.11.11 pa2.0 ). Where can I find this?

Thanks,

Joe

use find -name to see if its on your system.

If its there, make sure that directory is on the SHLIB_PATH and then try again.

I've used find to look over the system pretty carefully and it isn't there. MLIB B.06.01 had it. See e.g. patch PHSS_18937 file list

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|patch.breadcrumb.search|patch.breadcrumb.patchDetail{PHSS_18938,hpux:800:10:20}|patch.breadcrumb.patchDetail{PHSS_18937,hpux:800:11:00}|&patchid=PHSS_18937&context=hpux:800:11:00

Can I install this patch and have both MLIB versions? Or is there a current version somewhere?

Thanks,

Joe

Maybe try compiling from scratch?

I may have to compile the netlib source, but it is rather messed up. The file name case does not match the make file, and after changing the file names to match those in the makefile some of the includes ref. all lower case. I was hoping that HP had a nice optimized library somewhere like they used too.

Hi Joe,

current version of MLIB does not include libsparse.a. If you want to use libsparse.a you may download patch PHSS_18937 and do the following:

sh PHSS_18937
tar xf PHSS_18937.depot
cp PHSS_18937/MLIB/opt/mlib/pa2.0/libsparse.a dest_directory

Then you may link the library into your code.

Thanks Zygmunt,

At first I couldn't find the patch since I was searching for an 11.11 patch and this is an 11.00 patch. I assume it should work fine under 11.11

s700_800 11.00 MLIB B.06.01 Cumulative Patch (PHSS_18937)

I saved the whole library in my mlib path as follows:
mv PHSS_18937/MLIB/opt/mlib /opt/mlib/mlib11.00

Thanks again,

Joe
