Hi Nandakumar !

You can try the following command

lslpp -l all |grep xlC


(The C in xlC is caps )
If you can find some filesets then you should be having
C for AIX compiler. Anyway this is how it is in my setup.
Hope it helps,

Well.. Nandakumar ,I don't have an indepth idea on this anyway u should be able to compile c programs using the following command

cc test.c (or) xlC test.c

where test.c is the c program, in my setup i have the cc program in /usr/bin/cc and also /usr/bin/xlC, u can find this using the command
which cc , and u will get an output if the c compiler is properly/completely installed in the system.If u want me to further clarify then can u post the list of filesets listed when u give the following command.
lslpp -l all |grep xlC

That's pretty much what was in my mind actually, I wondered if the compiler was actually installed but I didn't have an AiX box in front of me so that I could list the filesets. Thanks Raj.

hi mike & rajesh !!!
there is no dir bin under /usr/lpp/xlC
u can go thro.... following....

[aria]/# cd /usr/lpp/xlC
[aria]/usr/lpp/xlC# ls -l
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 3 bin bin 512 Dec 15 18:40 exe
drwxr-xr-x 6 bin bin 512 Dec 15 18:40 lib
[aria]/usr/lpp/xlC# ls bin
ls: 0653-341 The file bin does not exist.

SEE my intension is to hav c compiler to compile some files ... if u can help me judjing whether c ompiler is there or not... i will be able to that.

thanks
nan

Well Nandakumar !

I feel that u got a bare minimum support of c , which has come along with the operating system , to compile c programs , i think u should purchase IBM C compiler for AIX seperately from IBM and then install it so that you will have all those filesets which i mentioned above in your system. hope this clarifies !

Try downloading GCC from [tt]

http://www.bull.de/

[/tt]

I hope it works...

hai
To find the path for cc you can use the command type cc.

Usually it gives the path as /usr/vacpp/bin/cc. So you can use this path to compile a C program.

Hope this helps.

It was My understanding that if you are at AIX version 4.3.2 you cannot use
the C version 3.1.4 (the older version, used to be free) You had to upgrade
the C compiler when the system was upgraded? I assume you upgraded your system...from an earlier 4.1 or 4.2? or you found an old cd that had the old C code for the early 4.1 (when it was a free product and loaded it.) Either way, I do not think it will work at 4.3.2.

As stated above you can get the freeware gcc or
you can upgrade your c compiler to the newer version 4.0 or 5.0 of Visual Age
C compiler from your distributor. There is a cost for the C compiler when you went to version 4.3
