Internal Error: Codeword file /opt/ansic/newconfig/ansic.cwd missing or empty.

[hp-ux technical documen]

I downloaded Server Evaluation copy of C/ANSI compiler, but when I try to compile a file with it, it gives me following error -
Internal Error: Codeword file /opt/ansic/newconfig/ansic.cwd missing or empty.

Can somebody point out what needs to be done

Thanks

hi,

In order to use these evaluation compilers, you must also obtain and install an evaluation license, which is good for 60 days from the date the license was generated. This license may be obtained from licensing.hp.com.

You will receive a PDF file which is your license. It has a section named 60 Days Evaluation License Key Code which has a license key of 26 hexadecimal digits.

To enable the evaluation compiler, you need to create a plain text (ASCII) file containing only that 26 digit hexadecimal license key.

please remember to assign points...

Hi,
looking at your previous questions I assume you are intending to use the ANSI C compiler, as you would get support from HP for questions regarding the compiler.

If not, then gcc may be your other choice.

It's free, but support may not be to the level you need in your case.

[hp-ux technical documen]

yes support of gcc is one thing, another thing is using this for kernel modules may lead to some unknown things which you never know. So it is better to use what HP provides, atleast for the kernel space.

[Peter Godron]

Hi,
thanks for the clarification.
If you are going to mess with the kernel, I would agree with your decision to go with the supported product.

Go with Josephs weblink.

Good Day

Has anybody sorted out this problem yet?,I have exactly the same probelm and I have followed the installtion guide exactly.When compiling code it gives this error

/triceps/triprod/source $ mkrts1.hp SCR
Internal Error: Codeword file(s) missing or empty.
cc: 487: warning : Possibly incorrect message catalog.
Internal Error: Codeword file(s) missing or empty.
cob32: error(s) in C compilation: rts1serl.c
Rename rts1.SCR to rts1

If anybody knows the answer please post it,HP Support doesnt know the answer either.

I have placed the 26 character code in an ASCII file /opt/ansic/newconfig/ansic.cwd,so that is not the problem.

Cheers

Hello -
I'm having a similar trouble with the HP ANSI/C Compiler. I've my license key in the correct file.
I'm able to compile files as root, it works well. However, when logged as an ormal user, it told me:
cousolre>cc c.c
Internal Error: Codeword file(s) missing or empty.

File's permissions seems to be okay:
cousolre>ls -l /opt/ansic/newconfig/ansic.cwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 27 Feb 4 23:48 /opt/ansic/newconfig/ansic.cwd

Does anybody has an idea?
Thanks,

Thomas

Good Day Thomas

Are you using the evaluation version ,or the full version of the ANSI /C Compiler?I cant even compile as root,where did you place the ansic.cwd file?

Cheers

[Thomas Lecomte]

Shawn,
I'm using the evaluation version of the compiler.
As the ls -l command shows, the file is in /opt/ansic/newconfig.
Isn't there an HP-UX utility to trace system call? I would like to see which open() the compiler try to do.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hello -
I've found what file cc tried to open using "tusc".

cousolre# pwd
/etc/opt/softbench/lib
cousolre# ls -l
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 27 Feb 6 01:12 softbench.cwd

I hope it will help you.
Thomas
