/usr/bin/f90 not created durring install of DFA55A kit

[Ray Browder]

Is this a bug or new behavior?

I'm installing all of the componets from the dfa55a Fortran kit on a Sierra Cluster. The install creates a file, /usr/bin/f90_55A, but no /usr/bin/f90. It did create a file/link for /usr/bin/f77 and /usr/bin/f77_55A.

I will install the DFA550 kit instead. I could create the links myself, but I don't want to have to remember to remove my modifications when I install the next version of Fortran.

If this is a bug, who should I contact?

The DFA55A kit I used is in the Q4 CY2003 Tru64 UNIX Software Products Library.

Regards,
Ray

It apparently slipped through because uninstall does not remove /usr/bin/f90.
This will only be a problem in a fresh install. The fix is to create the link
manually:

% su root
% cd root_directory_for_install (usually /)
% cd ./usr/bin
% ln -s ../lib/cmplrs/fort90/fort90 f90

If you have further problems contact one of the HP support centers.

Thanks for the response. I'm glad to hear that it's a minor issue.

Since I have the DFA550 kit installed now on all of my servers, I'll wait for the Q1 CY2004 kit to come out.

Thanks again.
