312.0. "online mgmt s/w install on unix v4 asks for c++ libraries - not avail. 79823" by KERNEL::COFFEYJ (La Feline Flooz - a unix cat) Fri Jan 24 1997 09:58


Hi 

I wonder if someone could at least give me a pointer here.... 

I've a customer trying to install online raid management s/w, 
the swxcr on the same diskette (v1.1.1) installed ok, but the o-l mgmt s/w
refuses to install saying it needs C++ libraries installed first. 

We can't imagine what it wants with them, but if it needs fair 
enough.   The problem is that the digital unix release notes 
specify not to install c++ libraries on v4 systems (I wonder if 
they're maybe already included wrapped in some other s/w 
from v4 onwards?)  and even if you wanted to disobey you can't 
because the kits aren't on the cd.

Does she need a new raid s/w diskette?
Does she need the c++ lib.s installed?

If not, can we hack unix to think they're installed and just 
put the appropriate SUBSET.lk file in /usr/.smdb.?

If so what should it's name be (ie: what is the raid s/w actually 
checking for)?


thanks in advance for anything

	This conference is for hosted based RAID software on OpenVMS.  I
	think you want to ask this question in SSAG::ASK_SSAG or the
	DIGITAL_UNIX conference on TURRIS.  I think the problem has
	come up there at least once in one or the other, so a title
	search would be wise.

	I'd guess that if it wants the C++ runtime, part of it is
	probably written in C++.  On earlier versions, the kit made
	rather limited assumptions about what versions it would be
	running on, but these were solved by creating the lock file.
	I don't think this is enough for V4.  It may just be that the
	software needs a new version to run on V4.

Okey doke. 

I noticed there were questions on NT so thought I'd be ok 
and the digital unix conference had come up with nothing useful 
looking when I searched on raid or c++.   I'll try the 
ask_ssag conference since you say it was in one of them.

I suspect so, but without a raid s/w person to tell me so I'm 
struggling. 

I'm unix s/w support... but it seems cause no-one else does 
we support raid s/w too.   

Thanks for the pointers, 
sorry to sully a pure proprietary conference 
with icky open stuff :-)

	I always considered it slumming to wander over here from
	conferences on more open conferences...  But, Guenther asked.
