re-installing standard c compiler

[otukile]

I am having slight problems with the standard bundled c compiler. Is it possible to reinstall just the compiler?

[SANTOSH S. MHASKAR]

Pl. mention version of OS?
What do u mean only c compiler?
I assume it to be /usr/bin/cc i.e. HP_UX C compiler. It is not possible to re-install a single file. U have to reinstall the entire C compiler package. Use sam for this .

1] Remove the package C compiler by selecting it from sam.(Note : Before removing a package make sure if u have the HP_UX software CDs having HP_UX C Compiler package.)

sam--Software Management--Remove Software--
Remove Local Host Software--Mark C compiler package to Remove--Actions-Remove

this will remove the package.

2] Now re-install it.

sam--Software Management--Install Software to Local Host--Source Depot Type--Select the source depot where u have C compiler package(i.e. ur HP_UX software CD or a local depot) and Install it.

Thats all.

I think it is. You need to reinstall these 4 filesets from the OS-Core (hpux install) CD;

OS-Core.C-KRN B.11.11 C-KRN
OS-Core.C-MIN B.11.11 C-MIN
OS-Core.C-MIN-32ALIB B.11.11 HP-UX minimal 32 bit user libraries
OS-Core.C-MIN-64ALIB B.11.11 C-MIN-64ALIB

These 4 filesets make up the standard bundled c compiler.

You could also use swinstall to browse to the package (probably a SD package within a bundle), change options to reinstall if same version exist (and probably some more options in that), mark and install the package.

Thanks you people for all the help. I was able to try these on the test server and it seems to work. Keep fingers crossed for problematic production server!

2 things that I have noted:
1. SAM is not the efficient tool to use for this excercise. It does not zoom in on what you want to install/uninstall. Knowing the filesets plus using swinstall and swremove commands do the job.

2. The OS-Core.C-KRN fileset cannot be uninstalled. Its one of the core files needed during reboot

Cheers to all
