syntax error at line 2 : '<' unexpected

This sounds like a serious lack of proper planning on someones part. Buying a new HP-UX machine and expecting 20 year old AIX compiled programs to run on the new machine is obsurd.

Unless you have the source code, you are seriously out of luck.

Horace,

I'll try to say it as short and clear as possible:

two options:
- get the source code and a very experienced c programmer to port it to hp-ux
(more reasonable in the long term as You're dead in the water without it anyway)
- get a entry-level rs/6000
(entry level means 1.6GHz and 1GB nowadays)

Sorry to be that pessimistic, but this is as impossible as it gets.

(Oh, and yes, You could get some russian cracker to dissasemble and recompile it. or fly to the moon on my bike)

I don't believe there is such a beast. As hard as it is to accept, the other posters have the right answer. Just because your management doesn't want to accept it doesn't mean it's not correct.

AIX above 5.1 can run linux applications (if compiled for powerpc!), but linux *cannot* run AIX applications.
