1. Pay HP some money for either ANSI/C or aCC (ANSI C and C++) compilers.
2. Get CODEWORD
3. Using CODEWORD you can install from any application CD set

Plan B: Install the free Gnu C compiler.
http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gcc-3.4.3/

The only C compiler installed for free on HP-UX is the bundled c compiler and it is really only intended for building kernels. It can be used for limited development but understands only K&R syntax.

Actually, my understanding is that even the built in C compiler is a version of the ANSI C on 11i, just limited in functionality so all it is good for is compiling the kernel. K&R is dead. We should also mention that the optimizer for ANSI C you buy from HP is much better than that on the GNU C compiler.
