Problem installing C/ANSI-C Developer Bundle

[Roger Lavender]

I have an HP9000 - D390 w/HPUX 11.0.

I need to install the HP C/ANSI-C Developer Bundle - B3901BA from Disk 2 of 5 from the HP-UX 11.0 Application Software CD Set (Sept 2000).

'swlist' shows the bundle directory, but, 'swinstall' says its not available for installation.

How do I get it installed?

Sounds like you don't have the correct codeword.

(by the way- your profile says you have not assigned any points to previous questions. It is the way you say thank-you to someone who answers your questions.)

ANSI C is a product you have to purchase from HP. It's not a freebie. If you have purchased the product and have gotten a new set of Application CDs then you should also have gotten a sheet or two that has the applications you have purchased, the CD they are on, and the codeword to unlock that application so that it can be seen via swinstall. The codeword is the key. If you do not have it, then you won't be able to install your application.

Once you have the codeword, you go into swinstall (interactive), go to Actions, and then Add New Codeword. You fill out the appropriate information and you should then see ANSI/C in the list of available applications.

You need to supply a codeword to see the software in "swinstall". There is a license fee for for the ANSI-C compiler.

"swlist" will always show you all products/bundles on the CD:s, but many of them require codewords for installation.

For Rodney........

I humbly beg your forgiveness "oh might one". I was unfamiliar with the points business. I have since rectified the problem and am now armed against future reprisals like yours........

Thank you.
