[comp.unix.aix] I just did my AIX Install: HELP!!!

rwmira01@ULKYVX.BITNET (Rob Miracle) (11/22/89)

Well my AIX install went well except for a few things that I would need some
help with.  Please respond by E-Mail if possible.  (This was on a PS/2 Model
70 by the way).

1.  VS Fortran and C installed with no errors.  However, after logging in,
    creating a simple c or Fortran file and entering: (by the book)
        cc filename   or    vs filename

    generated the error:  sh: cc not found
    I could not find the file cc, vs or any of the C Include files.
    the files vsc and vsfort were in the /lib directory with no path to them.

    Does any one have any ideas why this would happen?  If this is supposed
    to be Unix why wasn't cc placed in /usr/bin where it belongs (or is that
    /bin) and the include files in /usr/include?  Will reinstalling it via
    the installp command fix it?  (I installed most everything during the
    inital install process).

2.  I installed TCP/IP (knowing darn good and well that there was no network
    board installed :-) ) in the hopes that I could comment out the startup
    sequences and then when the network adapter is installed, I could go and
    cut out the comments and have everything ready.

    I used the devices command to delete the ethernet driver and I commented
    out the TCP/IP startup stuff from /etc/rc.  This seemed to work ok but
    see below (then we will come back to this problem)

3.  When I try to start X-Windows on the console, it tells me that it cant
    find the TCP/IP network.  X-Windows was installed prior to TCP/IP.
    Does X-Windows require TCP/IP or do I have to tweek the devices list to
    make sure that the console is defined (it wasn't and it didn't give me
    an option to install it though the book said that it would).

2.1 So how to I uninstall TCP/IP and will it clear up my X-Windows problems?


Thanks in Advance
Rob

You need to install the Application Development Toolkit in order to get the
cc command installed.

X-Windows does not require TCP/IP; however, for some reason X-Windows will
not start properly once TCP/IP has been installed UNLESS TCP/IP is configured
and functional.  There is probably some way to muck around with the rc files
(i.e. /etc/rc and/or rc.tcpip) that would fix this behavior but I haven't yet found it.
