cc -> /usr/vac/bin/xlc 1

[dickiebird]

Hi Guys
At our shop, we've just installed Aix 4.3.3(yes - I know - about 8 years too late)
cc isn't included in the new build, so I've got our Admin boys to install xlc instead.(With links etc - but they don't know much about it - neither do I)
But...When I attempt a make, I get the following error :
cc -c -I. -I/usr/gnbb/include -I/usr/cg-index/include -I/data/build_2.0.9/include lattrd.c -o lattrd.o
cc: cannot retrieve message number 1501-238
make: The error code from the last command is 41.

Anyone any ideas,sites that might help me get compiling again?
(I've already submitted this to the C forum with no luck)
TIA ;-)

hi,

probably a long shot but , are you specifying your own make file when doing the make or using the default. Or are you specifying the cc command on command line ?
if using makefile do you have a header indicating its on AIX platform , sun etc..

Have you tried compiling to with -b option dynamic / static
indicating which type of library files are searched

Is your LIBPATH set to /usr/lib

do view options of cc type cc 2>&1 | more

probably long shots but see if any help

It seems that not all of the filesets for xlc were installed. The following should be installed:

xlC.aix43.rte 4.0.2.1 C C Set ++ Runtime for AIX 4.3
xlC.cpp 4.3.0.1 C C for AIX Preprocessor
xlC.msg.en_US.rte 4.0.2.0 C C Set ++ Runtime Messages--U.S.
xlC.rte 4.0.2.0 C C Set ++ Runtime

Hi
DMARSWAY : I ran cc 2>&1 and got cc: NLSPATH is not set, help not found
So I set NLSPATH with export NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/%N
then got my original message: cc: cannot retrieve message number 1501-231
I guess NLSPATH points to /usr/lib/nls/msg then whatever is set in my $LANG env. variable ?
As I'm not sure of the %L/%N convention, I tried NLSPATH as
export NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US as $LANG is set to en_US.
Still no joy......
Thanks in advance for any more ideas.

And to AIXSPadmin...
I have none of the afore-mentioned files
In /usr/vac/bin I have

Any other thoughts guys ?

Filesets not files; do an `lslpp -l | grep -i xlc` and check for the filesets. If you are getting a cannot retrieve message then it seems the C message files did not get installed or not installed correctly.

 

[dickiebird]

Sorry AIXSPadmin - I'm with you now !
I only get this :
lslpp -l | grep -i xlc
xlC.aix43.rte 4.0.2.1 COMMITTED C Set ++ Runtime for AIX4.3
xlC.rte 4.0.2.0 COMMITTED C Set ++ Runtime
I guess this means an incorrect installation ?
I'll get back to the AIX admin guys.
Thanks muchly !

I am confused...and for me that isnt saying much...
When you upgraded to 4.3.3, I assume you purchased a c
compiler? or at least upgraded your old compiler? Most
of the new compilers for Aix 4.3.3 were Visual Age compilers
that had to be bought or upgraded, because the older versions
would not work correctly...or might work, but required a
bunch of hoops to be gone through. Many decided to go to the

http://www.bullfreeware.com

site and get the free gcc compiler and
use that....others purchased a full version and went from
there...

The C compilers from Visual Age required a LUM set up...
documentation on lum:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/lum/aix/doc/
Version 5 of C++

http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.techTips?refNo=100560554515766

LUM

http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.techTips?refNo=95115345316482

Some of the filesets that are included on the AIX 4.3.3 cd
are some of the xlC runtime stuff....but not anything that
gives you a C compiler....

so I am not sure what you mean by xlC....maybe
you have it and it is the correct version, and
life is good...maybe you have an old version or don't have LUM (iforls stuff installed) Or maybe it is just my
confusion.....

Anyway.....my two cents.... hope you get it working!

Finally up and running - the ifor stuff wasn't running
(whatever ifor is ( apart from a Welsh railway engine))
