HP-Risc to Itanium

[dev-s]

Hi,
I have couple of executables and shared libs that were compiled and linked in hp-risc (HP-UX hpux B.11.23 U 9000/800 3697136004 unlimited-user license)
I need to be able to run those on Itanium machines.
As I understood, the ARIES should do it for me (ot should be transparent - shouldn't it?)
It doesn't work for me on the following itanium system "HP-UX Vital59 B.11.31 U ia64 ..."
when I try to run some exe I got the following msg:
"sh: : Execute permission denied." althoug file has all the required permissions (755)
so...
1. do I have to configure something to make it work?
2. anything I missed?

tx,
s

Yes. It needs no configuration.

>sh: : Execute permission denied.

What does "file " show?

Hi D,

"file " returns:
: PA-RISC2.0 shared executable dynamically linked

This should work fine. I assume all of your shlibs show something similar and are executable?

[dev-s]

yes.
nothing to be done before the file execution? the ARIEs should work without any "start" or something else?
if the answer is "yes" - what can you suggest?

You may want to use "tusc -fp -ea -o tusc.out" on your executable to see what syscall is failing.

[dev-s]

it might be a problem in files transfer to the remote ie64 machine.
tx for now.

"permission denied" is the simplest problem for system migration from RP to RX. What you need to do is just to re-run 'chmod 755 program.exe' on the new system.

But, I will suggest you do the migration by using 'tar' command, don't just use rcp or cp.

FYI:

I had copied one PA-RISC program to Itanium system and it is just able to run without any configuration.

I copied both the execution file and all of related library files to Itanium.
