Configuring Perl-5.8.9 on HP PA-RISC

[mmm_zzz]

Hi,

This is what I found when grepping on locatable but nothing for relocatble
swlist -v -l fileset -d -s /home/source/perl_D.5.8.9.A.BETA1_HP-UX_B.11.31_IA_PA.depot |grep -i locatable
is_locatable false
is_locatable
is_locatable
is_locatable
is_locatable false
is_locatable
is_locatable
is_locatable
Thanks for your help

Hi (again):

If you want a good, standard, solid Perl, installing from the HP-UX software depot is a fine choice. The installation will be make in '/opt' with a symbolic link from '/usr/bin/perl'. By creating a symbolic link from '/opt/perl' to either '/opt/perl_64' or '/opt/perl_32' you can select your bitness.

Regards!

>1- These are the two ways I tried:

I don't see "@" nor ",l=". So how to you expect to relocate them?

>JRF: You can verify your depot like:

You can optimize this by using -a instead of -v:
swlist -a is_locatable -l product \
-s /tmp/perl_E.5.8.8.D_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot

Hi,
I found this about is-locatable:
'"is_locatable" attribute for the product object. Defines whether a product can be installed to an alternate product directory or not. If specified, the attribute is set to a value of TRUE. If not specified, the attribute is assigned a value of FALSE.' and when I verified it was to false I think so I can't change the target directory with that option. And maybe shall I find a solutionfor the compilation problem.

Thanks to all,
M.Z

Have you tried alternate root?
swinstall -s $PWD/depot @ /alternate-root-path \*

Hi,
I tried and the same Error was raised "Perl cannot be installed to an alternate root"

Thanks for your help.
