Do I need to buy the B3913DB aC++ compiler?

[Liu, yuhyun Marjorie]

Hello,
Can someone help me to resolve a puzzle?
I have HP-UX 11.11 on 64-bit machine RP3410, and ANSI C compiler B3901BA B.11.11.14 installed.

When I try to install Oracle 10gR2, it has requirements for PL/SQL native compilation, PRO*C/C++, .. with:
1. HP C Compiler (B.11.11.12),
2. HP aC++ compiler (aCC A.03.60)
3. GCC compiler gcc 3.4.0(64-bit)

On our current system 11.11, it has
PHSS_31221 1.0 -- HP aC++ -AA runtime libraries(aCC A.03.60).
Is it not the same as aC++ compiler?

Do I need all 3 compiler installed including gcc?

Also, we always have C compiler with ORACLE 8i. The old RDBMS 8i software does not require HP aC++ compiler.

Is there any other way I can bypass the requirement, such as use a patch, etc?

I mean Do I have to buy the aC++ B3913DB compiler in order to install oracle 10gR2?

Thanks for help.

Hi Liu,

Yes you will require HP aC++ compiler. It will be in the HP-UX OS CD's. If you have liscence for it then ask Hp for the code word and then you can install from the CD's

You would probably get better answers by
asking Oracle tech support directly. From
your description above it seems like your
B3901BA compiler ought to be enough, as the
list you give is probably a list of
alternative compilers you can use (i.e.
you need #1 or #2 or #3).

See if you already have the aC++ compiler installed...

# swlist -l bundle B3913DB

Best option would be to ask Oracle tech support or open up a TAR with them concerning this issue. For most purposes the B3901BA (the HP ANSI C budle should be enough) but then we don't have any Oracle 10G installations and as mentioned in the previous post, Oracle has listed all the compiler alternatives that are compatible with the PL/SQL and the Proc*C/C++ products. Again best answer would come directly from Oracle.

cheers!

I found from oracle's documnet of c compilers :

* 9.2.0 HP ANSI C B.11.01.25171 plus PHSS_25171, PHSS_25249
* & HP C++ A.03.27
* 10.1.0 HP ANSI C B.11.11.08+ & HP aC++ A.03.50+
* 10.2.0 HP ANSI C B.11.11.12 & HP aC++ A.03.60

So I need to purchase the aC++ compiler.

Thanks for all the help, it's so confusing to prep all the requirements.
