C for AIX: Licensing problem...

[amunix]

Hi All,

I have installed AIX 4.3.2 on my RS/6000 machine, from the 3 CDs. Now I have to make the C for AIX running on it. I have another 2 CD pack: Software Development Solutions for AIX Version 4. I has the C for AIX v3.1.4 software.

Using smit I have installed C for AIX from this CD. Now, the problem is that I am unable to obtain a license for this software, I can't use xlC.

What is the default directory in which this C for AIX is installed ? Somewhere I read it is /usr/vac. Also, what is the name of the C compiler ? IBM site says it is vac.C, but no such software is on that CD.

Then what did I install ? Kindly help me regarding this, my career is at stake. I am new to AIX, and I am also not aware of its packaging formats.

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,
--amarendra Linux Rules !

In the good old days, C was free....and you can still get a shareware version
on the Bull site... (gcc)...but the IBM version you have on that CD
was for an older version that does not work at 4.3.2...........

IBM C is not free any longer and must be purchased...

The default instalation directory is as you say
/usr/vac/bin ( Visual Age C ). There is a command in the directory to create the neccessary links to similate xlC.

You need to install a lience server, the setup commands are in /var/ifor

I was having troubleshooting treating to install C for AIX ..
When i compile a c program (easy) ...

#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
printf(&quot;Hello !!! \n&quot;
}

I can see the problem ...

w:/usr/vac/bin>prueba.exe
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program prueba.exe because of the following errors:
0509-108 The .loader section does not exist.
w:/usr/vac/bin>prueba.exe | more
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program prueba.exe because of the following errors:
