Both PARISC and IA64 versions of libraries/applications on HP-UX IA64

[GnanaShekar]

Hi,

We have a HP-UX IA64 server.
We need to install the following for both PARISC and IA64 on this server.
1. libiconv
2. gettext
3. libgcc

We have a PARISC application that we have to run on HP-UX IA64 that needs the PARISC version of the above.

Also the bash shell installed on the HP-UX IA64 too needs the IA64 versions of the above.

I know both version of these can be installed on the HP-UX IA64 server.

But will they overlap / overwrite each other. If so How do I avoid it?

I generally use sam for installation.

Also in the past I have installed PARISC and IA64 version of libiconv on HP-UX IA64. But the swlist command lists only one instance of libiconv.

Please suggest,
Thanks & Regards,

If they follow conventions, you can have both versions.
1) IPF versions in lib/hpux##/
2) PA versions in lib/ and lib/pa20_64/

libgcc - you installing stuff from the porting archives (http://hpux.connect.org.uk)? ISTR that as of November 2006 they started (or perhaps returned to) using the HP compilers for the porting, which means that the newer stuff should no longer have a dependency on their "libgcc" - of course other dependencies (eg libiconf, gettext) would remain.

Any particular reason you cannot recompile the PARISC application as native Itanium? (Dependencies on gettext and iconv suggests it is an opensource app or a local one - at least to me - which suggests source should be available) Aries works great and all for running PA-RISC binaries on Itanium, but native is still better.
