Python Installation - Execute Permissions

[GBR]

I've just installed 2.4.3 on my HP-UX 11i v1 box. I'm getting an execute permission denied error when I try running the command 'python'. The executable is in my path. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg

Shalom,

ll /filename

what /filename

Make sure you have PA-RISC executables. IA64 will not work on 11.11

# ll /usr/bin/python

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys
1 Jul 19 17:59 /usr/bin/python -> /usr/local/bin/python

# what user/bin/python

/usr/bin/python:
$Revision: 92453-07 linker linker crt0.o B.11.43 050125 $

And... I'm not sure how to check that I have PA-RISC executables.

Command "file /usr/bin/python" should say something along the lines of "PA-RISC 2.0 executable...."

If it says something about ELF, you've got the wrong python.

# file /usr/bin/python

/usr/bin/python: PA-RISC2.0 shared executable dynamically linked -not stripped

what machine is this? it may be a PARISC 1.x server, in which case you will get this due to using an executable compiled on a PARISC 2.0 server

Melvyn,

CPU Version: PA 7200-7200 CPU 13
Hardware Model: 9000/821/D250
Kernel Width Support: 32

So should I be looking for a PARISC 1.x compilation?

By running the follwing command:

# file /stand/vmunix

/stand/vmunix: PA-RISC1.1 executable -not stripped

I will now go looking for a compiled executable for a PA-RISC1.1

Yes, you have a PARISC 1.x server, you need the version compiled for that.
As you have the PARISC 2.0 compiled version, you will get the error you are seeing

Can any PA-RISC 2 compiled code run on PA-RISC 1.1? or do I have to compile all the code on my system for the PA-RISC 1.1 architecture to work properly. I ask because I installed Perl with for PA-RISC 2.0 and it seems to work.
