I don't understand this.

Do you think that it might be useful to show
the actual command you used and its actual
output? I do.

"cc -ld" looks to me like the essence of a
defective command, but without seeing the
whole thing, it's hard to be sure.

"man cc", look for "-l" (and/or "-L"). Then,
if you don't see what you're doing wrong, try
including some useful information with your
next posting.

this is the version i have installed .

when i issued this below command the o/p is----

# cc -ltcl
ld: Can't find library for -ltcl
Fatal error.

library files like -ltcl -linsck -lintl -lcs -lct -lcomn -lsrv -lsybdb -lm -lcurses not working with cc


Thanks once again

So, where is libtcl.a (or libtcl.*)?

Definitely look for "-L".

And where are those libraries? cc and ld are
not psychic. If libraries are not in the
default location, then you need to tell cc/ld
where to look for them.

Hi,

I want to confirm that whether the development kit I have installed is proper or not for Itanium system with hpux 11i v2 version.....

Next is if I run same command on hpux 11i v1 it works and no error but i am not able to find lbctl.a file in v2

Thanks

Hi

libctl.a not found ......

Where did you look? How did you look? As
usual, showing actual commands and their
actual output can be more helpful than vague
descriptions and interpretations.

> libctl.a not found ......

Who was looking?

Are you looking for "lbctl", "libctl", or
"libtcl"?

> Next is if I run same command on hpux 11i
> v1 it works

So, where are these libraries on _that_
system?

Did you get as far as "man ld"? Did you see
the part about LDPATH? What does
echo $LDPATH
say on the two systems?

[Dennis Handly]

I see no compilation errors, just your linker error.
Note: The latest aC++ compiler is A.06.23, PHSS_39823.

As Steven says, you need a -L path that includes these libs.

>if I run same command on 11i v1 it works

Where are these on 11.11? (Use -Wl,-t) Did you forget to install them on your 11.23 machine?

>Steven: Did you see the part about LDPATH?

(I see no LDPATH.) It isn't recommended to use LPATH since the driver also uses that to communicate various options to ld. Instead use "-L path" for each.

[Steven Schweda]

> (I see no LDPATH.)

Oops. My brain must be stuck on
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

> It isn't recommended to use LPATH [...]

I wouldn't use it, either, but if one is
trying to explain why a link works on one
system but fails on another, then it's a
reasonable thing to check.
