compiler software help needed!!!

[Zishan]

Hi ,
Please guide me that how could I able to get these 2 compiler softwares:

HP C/ANSI C Compiler (A.06.14)
HP aC++ Compiler (A.06.14)

I need these for 11g database installtion.

[Dennis Handly]

You don't need these to install Oracle. The bundled C compiler should be good enough.
You can only install A.06.14 if you have already purchased A.06.10.
In any case, A.06.14 is obsolete and A.06.25 will be out later this month.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
-Will you let me know how I find which version of C bundle I currently have on my server ?
-Where I can found the A.06.10

>Will you let me know how I find which version of C bundle I currently have on my server?

/opt/ansic/bin/cc -V
/usr/ccs/bin/cc_bundled -V

As long as you have the latter, you should just ignore what Oracle has documented.

>Where I can found the A.06.10

You can't, it's obsolete.

You could use ignite.
Also you might want to use the recommended patch instead: PHSS_40537

Hello Dennis,

Ignite server seems complicated for me. The patch I m going to install is available with warnings and it is required for Oracle database 11g. Is it possible to install this patch and in case of any problem I can uninstall this patch ??

Pls give me advise..

You could use swremove to uninstall patch/patch bundle

But a copy with ignite is recommended.
