Hi, I am a new AIX user, and I finally figured out that '/lib/vsc' was the name of the C compiler (by reinstalling and watching the display). Now I find that it does not have compatible command-line options as the normal unix cc compiler. Once I got started compiling with new options, it tells me that it cannot find the "stdio.h" file. I verified that there is no stdio.h in any subdirectory of /usr/include. Please let me know what I am supposed to do to use this compiler. -David- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.

You need a product called the "Application Development Toolkit" In contains: cc as make cpp all the *.h files all the lib* files (such as libc.a) The C Compiler is just the compiler none of the support. Our university price was in the mid $100's. Corperate price will be somewhat higher.

For that you will need the Applications Development Toolkit (ADT). This is a series of five disks I believe. The libraries on these disks are used by Fortran and Pascal as well as C I believe (giving some rationale but not much for unbundling them from the C Compiler). -- John Garnett Computing and Information Sciences Oklahoma State University Email: garnett@a.cs.okstate.edu Stillwater, Oklahoma

I believe I have posted something along these lines before, but once again
for everyone's benefit....
IBM has a rather unusual packaging scheme. The AIX system is divided up
into what they call LPP's (Licensed Program Product). In IBM's scheme of
things the C compiler is just that, the compiler. Now the 'cc' front end
does other things beside call the C compiler, if it is given input of a
file with a '.s' it will call the assembler, if a '.o' it will call the
linker, if '.f' it will call the fortran compiler...and so on. Similarly
for the standard include files, they are used by a number of different
programs. Thus IBM breaks these programs out in another LPP, which is
called ADT which stands for Advanced Development Tools. This is sort of
the foundation package for any particular language package. You should
therefore obtain and install this LPP in addition to any particular
language compiler, like C, Pascal, Cobol, or Fortran (all of which are
available). If your reseller did not include this LPP you should go rag
on them for not being properly informed about the product they sell.
Disclaimer: These are my views, not necessarily IBM's or LCC's (even if
they do happen to be correct :-} )
