do you have a licensed install of the C/ANSI product from HP? Sounds like something is missing with respect to this product? The license is not free.

I assume this is the software that i need?
HP C/ANSI developer's bundle
B3901BA (for HP 9000 Servers)
B6237AA (Documentation set)

Indeed, netperf these days requires an ANSI compliant C compiler. It no longer compiles with the bundled C compiler.

That means either installing the HP ANSI C compiler (my preference) or gcc (I do not have the opportunity to test gcc compiles of netperf on HP-UX.

Or you might try finding a precompiled binary.

The netperf-talk@netperf.org mailing list may be helpful as well. That is the "prefered" place to go to get help with netperf as strictly speaking, while netperf was written and is maintained by an HP employee (me :) it is not an HP product.

One must be a member of netperf-talk to send email to netperf-talk. Subscription requests are handled via email to netperf-talk-request@netperf.org.

happy benchmarking,
