swinstall of emacs & bash yields "can't execute"

[Ken Miller_1]

Hi,

I downloaded emacs & bash depot files from
HP site and ran swinstall per the instructions.
I got no errors and /usr/local/bin is populated with emacs and bash; however, I can't run any of the files. I get "can't execute" messages. I'm running HPUX 11i as root and the ls -l of the files are:

# cd /usr/local/bin
# ./bash
ksh: ./bash: cannot execute
# ./emacs
ksh: ./emacs: cannot execute
# ./emacsclient
ksh: ./emacsclient: cannot execute
# ls -l bash emacs*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 4235780 May 22 2001 bash
-rwxr-xr-t 2 bin bin 5769836 May 22 2001 emacs
-rwxr-xr-t 2 bin bin 5769836 May 22 2001 emacs-20.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 47576 May 22 2001 emacsclient
#
and the also the file command shows:

# file bash
bash: ELF-32 executable object file
# file emacs
emacs: ELF-32 executable object file
#
Lastly, the files I downloaded are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root sys 1413120 Feb 11 08:03 bash-2.04-11.20.depot
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root sys 19148800 Feb 11 08:01 emacs-20.7-11.20.depo
t

Any help would be most appreciated. I'm new to HPUX but not UNIX.

I think you will have to compile rather than use the 11.00 depots on an 11i box.

Ki Ken:

It appears that you downloaded the wrong executables. The file command should display PA-RISC unless this is an Itanium box.

Thanks!

Hi Ken,

Is it possible you downloaded the wrong version of the software.

Hope this helps.

You do not say which model 9000 you are trying to run this on, but your symptoms are typical of having loaded or installed an executable compiled on a PARISC2.0 or greater syetem onto a PARISC1.x system. You may want to confirm what model system you are using, or go look at the site you obtained the softwar efrom and either get a compiled version to suit your box, or get the source and compile it yourself.

Yes, I didn't realize HP UX 11i V1.5 meant Itanium. I just needed 11i . I've installed the correct ones and they work fine now, thanks!

silly me, just read the last few lines of your post and there is the clue, the fact that the depots say 11.20
This is for Itanium system and not for normal PARISC boxes.

[Craig Rants]

Ah yes, I overlooked that as well, 11i should be in the 11.11 format.
