I re-installed the C compiler on top of an existing Domain/IX (both SR9 release) with no ill effects - The scripts appeared smart enough to do the "right thing", and the documentation probably just assumes both were shipped at once. [Actually, there was one "ill effect" - the new C compiler's /usr/include/math.h is missing a definition for "frexp", which somebody here had added by hand to the Domain/IX version.] -------

Now, we just received all new versions of optional software (PAS,FTN,C,D3M...)
and the C install guide says that for both DOMAIN/IX and C to be running,
you must install C first, then DOMAIN/IX.
Does this leave me with no alternative but to reinstall domain/ix after I
install C, or even worse, do I have to delete domain/ix, install c, then
install domain/ix?
In spite of my return address, this is personal opinion, not any kind
of official reply.
My guess is that the point of contention here is the include files in
/usr/include. You don't get as many of them with the C product as you
do with domain/ix. If you were to install domain/ix first, then the C
installation would wipe out the domain/ix include files.
