swinstall problems

[Sally Devine]

I have downloaded a the binaries for "make" at the HPUX Software Porting site. It came gzipped. I unzipped it and it is a depot file. I type swinstall -s to depot file and I get the error - "there are no products on this source that are compatible with this target"....anyone know why it would say this?

Hi,
Make sure you downloaded the version that correspond to your OS version.
# swlist -i -s
and check which OS is required for the product.

Hi again,

The right command is :
#swlist -i -d @

try just doing it thru SAM..

type;

swinstall

then use the gui and point to this file. I have had this problem in the past as well. This is one workaround i have used. Make sure execute permissions is assigned as well.
