compiler software help needed!!!

[Zishan]

Hi ,
Please guide me that how could I able to get these 2 compiler softwares:

HP C/ANSI C Compiler (A.06.14)
HP aC++ Compiler (A.06.14)

I need these for 11g database installtion.

[Dennis Handly]

You don't need these to install Oracle. The bundled C compiler should be good enough.
You can only install A.06.14 if you have already purchased A.06.10.
In any case, A.06.14 is obsolete and A.06.25 will be out later this month.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
-Will you let me know how I find which version of C bundle I currently have on my server ?
-Where I can found the A.06.10

Regards,

[Dennis Handly]

>Will you let me know how I find which version of C bundle I currently have on my server?

/opt/ansic/bin/cc -V
/usr/ccs/bin/cc_bundled -V

As long as you have the latter, you should just ignore what Oracle has documented.

>Where I can found the A.06.10

You can't, it's obsolete.

You could use ignite.
Also you might want to use the recommended patch instead: PHSS_40537

Hello Dennis,

Ignite server seems complicated for me. The patch I m going to install is available with warnings and it is required for Oracle database 11g. Is it possible to install this patch and in case of any problem I can uninstall this patch ??

Pls give me advise..

[Horia Chirculescu]

You could use swremove to uninstall patch/patch bundle

But a copy with ignite is recommended.

Hello Dennis,

(Bundled) cc: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.50 [May 15 2003]

I have the above bundle install on my machine.
I am still confuse why I cannot find following or higher (I have B.11.23 U)

HP C/ANSI C Compiler (A.06.14)
HP aC++ Compiler (A.06.14)

Its necessary to buy these softwares ?

Any help would be appreciate.

Regards,

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Zishan:

> I am still confuse why I cannot find following or higher

The C and aC++ compilers are bundled into one product (B9007AA). If you formerly licensed either compiler and have a current support agreement, you can to download the current a bundle from the Software Update Manager (SUM) which offers both.

If you have never licensed either compiler, you can do so via:

https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B9007AA

An evaulation copy is also available via the above link.

Hi,
Thanks, This evaluation copy is effective for how long ??

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again):

> Thanks, This evaluation copy is effective for how long ??

I believe that the evaluation period is for 60-days.

>I have the above bundle install on my machine.

(This isn't a bundle.)
It should be enough to install Oracle.

>I am still confused why I cannot find following or higher

Because you don't need them unless you are doing C or C++ development. And you would have to pay for them. Or look into using the GNU compilers.

[Zishan]

???It should be enough to install Oracle.
I need to install 11g and it is the requirment of the software.

[Dennis Handly]

>The patch I'm going to install is available with warnings and it is required for Oracle database 11g. Is it possible to install this patch and in case of any problem I can uninstall this patch?

Yes you can use swremove on the patch.
The warning about a backup is just in case there is something unpredictable happening, like a power failure or crash, right when it is updating dld.so.

[Zishan]

Dennis,

pls clarify If in case I installed evaluation bundle. Is there any problem for 60 days ?

Regards

[Dennis Handly]

>I need to install 11g and it is the requirement of the software.

No, the Oracle documentation isn't clear enough. It should say, if you are doing C/C++ development then you need at least the A.06.14 patches but later is also fine.

We have asked Oracle to make this clear, so we don't keep getting questions in the forums about this.

[Dennis Handly]

>If in case I installed evaluation bundle. Is there any problem for 60 days?

You do NOT need this, unless you are installing Oracle Apps and there is aCC_link to solve that need.

What type of problem are you asking about?

Is the aCC_link bundle available as a download?

I could order the CDs but there are sales tax implications.
