Error building kernel HP-UX 11

[Stewart McSporran_1]

Getting warning on mk_kernel: "Cannot open message catalog: usr/lib/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat"

After that, errors referencing several .h files.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Run the dmesg command and see if you have been receiving errors regarding running out of inodes (inode table full)

[alberto vasquez]

If yes (inode error) then try ot shut down some processes and then try the kernel regen. PS - You may also want to increase the ninode kernel parameter to avoid this in the future.

Do you have more than one C compiler installed on this machine? If so, then make sure that

# whence cc (returns...)
/usr/bin/cc

[Stewart McSporran_1]

Changed alias for cc. Reran mk_kernel. Same error.

Rebooted. Reran mk_kernel. Same error.

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm sure it fixed a problem I didn't know I had.

[James A. Donovan]

Try modifying your PATH environment variable so that it contains a minimum search path; e.g. PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin.

Also, what does "what" say about your /usr/bin/cc. Mine says

# what /usr/bin/cc
/usr/bin/cc:
HP92453-01 A.11.00.00 HP C (Bundled) Compiler
CUPROS_IC23B //1

Here is an ll of the file on my 11.0 system:
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 10035 Nov 7 1997 /usr/lib/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat

--------

# ll /usr/lib/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 10035 Nov 7 1997 /usr/lib/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat

--------

# $PATH
/sbin/sh: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin: not found.


After resetting the path, mk_kernel still errors.

Hi,

Did you have error "out of inode" in syslog ?

Thanks
