aC++ upgrade problem

[van Grinsven]

Hi,
I need to upgrade our current version of the C compiler. As far as I found out, this can be done in 2 ways. I preferred the install of a patch, but because this did not work, I tried to install an evaluation version (also without any luck).

The current version is:
# what /usr/ccs/bin/cc
/usr/ccs/bin/cc:
HP aC++/C for Itanium(R)-based systems B3910B A.05.50 [May 15 2003]

and it needs to be at least A.05.52. This could be fixed by installing 2 patches (PHSS_29655 and PHSS_29657), but both give dependancy problems. I tried to sort them out, but cannot find anything usefull.

How can I solve this?

Please find below the swinstall logs.

Hi Emile,

Problem appears to be that you should probably first install the 'base fileset'.

NOTE: The patch fileset PHSS_29657.LANG-AUX,r=1.0" may only be installed upon a previously installed base fileset.

So it seems that you have a mismatch with your currently installed compiler and the patches you're trying to install.

For dependency checks, just go to the patch_database and enter the two patches. The tool there should give you all dependencies.

Cheers,
Jan.

>The current version is:
what /usr/ccs/bin/cc

This is your problem. You are looking at the bundled C compiler. You must first install the ISU compiler, /opt/ansic/bin/cc, then you can patch it. Also, you are installing patches for C++, /opt/aCC/bin/aCC, not the C compiler.

Note A.05.52 is not supported and the latest compiler is A.06.13.

I'm not sure why you are getting the follwoing error:
ERROR: Could not access remote file "/opt/aCC/bin/aCC"

Thanks both for your remarks. Bottomline was that I need to upgrade the existing compiler. It could very well be that I downloaded the wrong patches. The package though I tried to install (and was not working) is ok. Thanks to Dennis I foud out that our /etc/hosts file is a little messed up (nslookup of the host gave me a totally random ip address). Now the package seems te be accepted, but is complaining that I do not have sufficient permissions (I'm quite sure I logged in as root and if I'm not mistaken that is id 0 ;-)). I'll try and google my way out of this one, but if anyone has suggestions...

The message is:
You do not have the required permissions to perform this operation. Check permissions using "swacl" etc, etc, etc.

Hi,
A reboot of the server fixed the problem. Thanks for the help!
