install zlib and openssh

[Bruce Ordway]

HI, I'm trying to install openssh and zlib. I have downloaded the files zlib-1.1.3-sd-11.00.depot.gz and openssh-3.0.2p1-sd-11.00.depot.gz from hpux.connect.org.uk. I gunzip these files in my /home/downloads directory. Now have trouble using swlist and swinstall.
swlist -s /home/downloads/zlib/zlib-1.1.3-sd-11.00.depot returns No bundle(s) on hpc200.bordway.org:/home/downloads/zlib/zlib-1.1.3-sd-11.00.depot
Product(s):
zlib 1.1.3 zlib.

I've also tried interactive UI for swinstall in CDE. I try a source depot path of /home/downloads/zlib and I get "There is currently no depot software ...."

I'm really new to swinstall & depots, anybody have some pointers for me?

Thanks,
Bruce Ordway

you need to copy the software to /var/spool/sw

you use the swcopy command

for eg

swcopy -s PHCO_15220.copy PHCO_15220 @ /var/spool/sw

Heres the full path with regard to installing a new depot from scratch

Hope this helps

you can use:

swinstall -s fullpathtofile \*

to install the depot software.actually you can define which package to instll instead of saying all (\*)
like swinstall -s fullpath/zlib.depot zlib

if the depot is not for your system or to pass prerequisites

you can use

-x allow_incompatible=true
and
-x force_dependencies=false

to swinstall command.

I ended up using this:

swinstall -s /home/downloads/openssh/openssh-3.0.2p1-sd-11.00.depot
openssh

It seems to have worked. Now I need to find some config info.

Working fine now. Thanks. Next stop VNC.
