swinstall question

[youbojun]

I have a question when I install file. In sam, when installing,it show:
could not access remotefile "usr/local/bin/gdb" in software item "gdb.gdb_RUN,r=5.2.1,a=HP_UX_B.11.00_700/800, v=:/usr/local" due to an internal error on the remote system.
how can I do?

The installation has failed. There should be a log of the install at the following location the swagent.log file

/var/tmp/swagent.log
/var/adm/sw/swagent.log

There should be error information, indicating whether the problem is corruption or dependency issues.

gdb is program language debugger provided from GNU. Its public shareware and, like all shareware, it goes into the /usr/local/bin directory. However, many admins migrated everything out of /usr/local/bin to /usr/local/sbin for reasons of security.

Often times these programs bypass swinstall.

Is there any reason for gdb on your system?

swremove if not.
