Unable to install Software

Daniel Schneider_4 — Wed, 15 Dec 1999 01:54:48 GMT

Hi all,
I have downloaded Software from 'Software Porting And Archive Centre for
HP-UX'. Then I unpacked it and now I want to install. But I do not know how. Is
it to do with swinstall? How is the complete Syntax? Can anybody give me tips
how to install software from '*_depot'?
I'm working on HP-UX 10.20.
I'm thankfull for any help.
Thanks in advance.

Daniel

You can only install software from 1 depot at the time.

The syntax for installing from 1 depot is:

swinstall -s \*

This will install all software from the depot.

Hi again.

Som if the syntax dissapired from the privius mail, sorry.

The syntax for installing all software from 1 depot-file is:

swinstall -s "full path to depot-file" \*

Best regards

hi!

You can use sam to do this but once you have unpacked your software, #swinstall
-s /~/*_depot should do.

where /~/ is the path where your depot is located.

You can also run swinstall on its own and then specify the path when it prompts
you.

Make sure swagentd is running.

Good luck

Ish

Thank you all for your response.
But I still have a problem:
I created a Directory in /var/spool/sw.
I put the archieve in it and start the swinstall:
swinstall -s host archive (*_depot)
Now the following Error occurs:
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "Lust_a" at location
"/var/spool/sw".
* Source connection failed for Lust_a:/var/spool/sw".

Is there an error when I started
'unzip tcpdump-3_4-sd-10_20_depot.gz'?

Please help me!

Regards
Daniel

Hi,
Is your download in tar format and extension is .gz?
if yes then do: unzip XXX |tar xv
Looks like your 10.20 is not recognzing your .depot.
one more thing 10.20 will not recongnize 11.00's *.depot and vice versa.

Good Luck
Sachin
