Hello All,

I am facing an issue in GNU Tar,Need your help to solve this...

Actually I have installed GNU TAR on 11.31 but while using it I am getting following error:-

/usr/local/bin/tar MDE11.2.0.2-ia64-HPUX-1131-64-cc0620-rw-umtp-depot.tar
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libintl.so'.
Killed

Now, on findings, i found that I need to install gcclib-4.2.3 ... but i need to confirm that I need to install only this library or any other libraries as well......

Need your help as ever.

Thanks for your support and help as ever....

Best Regards,
LN.

According to this page:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/tar-1.23/

You need the 'gettext' and 'libiconv' packages.

You can download depots of all packages from the link above.

Hi:

To add to Patrick's comments, the HP-UX Porting Centre has recently added a 'depothelper' that you can install to assist in collecting all package dependencies. Have a look at:

How, exactly?

Sometimes it's easier to build a freeware
product (like, say, GNU "tar") from a source
kit than it is to download a pre-built depot.
If the thing gets compiled and linked on your
system, then you can be pretty sure that you
have all the required run-time stuff.
