Problem with VIM install

[Dennis Flinn]

I was wondering if someone might be able to provide me some idea of what is going on. I download from the site:

http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,582,00.html

And download the following software.
vim for 11i Version 1.5 (binary) (depot, http, 2260 KB)

After using swinstall to install the software and no getting errors when I attempt to execute vim I get the following error:

# swlist -l product | grep vim
vim 5.7.2001-06-12 Vi IMproved
# swlist -l fileset -a state | grep vim
# vim
vim.vim configured
# file /usr/local/bin/vim
/usr/local/bin/vim: ELF-32 executable object file
# ls -als /usr/local/bin/vim

# /usr/local/bin/vim test.txt
sh: /usr/local/bin/vim: Execute permission denied.

I have looked at the following reference but still can't seem to find out what the problem is:

The only point is this a 64 bit 11.11 system could that be the problem.

Thanks,

Hi Dennis,

I think you have the wrong version of binaries for VIM. The HP-UX 11i version 1.5 is for Itanium machines, and I think that is also what they are calling 11.20. Check this thread:

John:

Thank you for information - I haven't worked much with HP in the past. I got the correct binaries and thing installed without a problem.

Thanks again.

The only thing that comes to mind is that the file isn't executable on that architecture.

I don't think that I have ever seen an ELF-32 binary. I've seen ELF-64 binaries on HP-UX.

Did you pick up this version of vim:

vim for 11i Version 1.5 (binary) (depot, http, 2260 KB)

I think that this is for the initial IA64 platform.

If you are running a PA-RISC machine you probably want the one labeled:

vim for 11.0 and 11i (binary) (depot, http, 2000 KB)
