Install BASH shell

Marc Sweeney — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 20:43:02 GMT

I've attempted to install bash-3.2-hppa-11.11.depot. When I run swinstall -s /tmp/bash-3.2-hppa-11.11.depot \* it fails with the following from swjob -a log armsweb4-0026 @ armsweb4:/.

swjob -a log armsweb4-0026 @ armsweb4:/

Any help will be much appreciated.

It's telling you exactly what's wrong. Bash requires gettext, libgcc, libiconv, and gettext. Install these run-time dependencies and then you can install bash but bash is really a poor substitute for HP-UX's POSIX shell. In any event, whatever you do, do not make bash root's shell because root must have a staically linked shell.

Hi Sweeney,

For bash installation, First you need to install its run time dependencies, e.g.

libiconv-1.10-hppa-11.11.depot
gettext-0.14.5-hppa-11.11.depot

then install
bash-3.00.16-hppa-11.11.depot

>Asif: First you need to install its run time dependencies,

You can use swcopy to copy all of the depots into one and install them at the same time if you want.

Thank you for all of your assistance for now the Linux kids can have their bash shell.

Given:
>swlist -l product | grep -E "libiconv|gettext"
gettext 0.11.5 gettext
libiconv 1.8 libiconv
>uname -mrsv
HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800

Then:
Installing "bash-3.2-hppa-11.11.depot" appears to have an undocumented dependency of "termcap-1.3.1".
