I'm trying to update a client's build process. My client is using IBM P6's running AIX 6.1. My client has been able to compile and build C++ and C code on similar systems, but not the particular one I'm working on.

I've made sure that the IBM directory containing xlc is in my $PATH. When I run gmake, I get an error stating that gmake can't find .orig/xlc_r. I added the path for .orig to my $PATH and I still get the error.

I don't have the error listing in front of me, but it looks something like this:

gmake: xlc_r[11]: Can't find .orig/xlc_r

Is there another environment variable I need to set?

Thanks pemeyer

Which version of the compiler are you using, and was it installed using the instructions in the installation guide?

In xlc_r, line 6 should be something like:

export XL_NDI_INSTALL=[path to base directory of the compiler]

and line 11 is:

exec ${XLCPP_NDI_INSTALL}/bin/.orig/$EXEC "$@"

So if ${XLCPP_NDI_INSTALL} is set correctly, xlc_r should be able to find .orig/xlc_r.

The other thing to try is to ls -l ${XLCPP_NDI_INSTALL}/bin/.orig/xlc_r to make sure it points to an existing file. If it points to a symlink, ls -l the symlink. At the end it should point to a real xlc executable with execute permission.

  • Thanks, Rafik. I'll take a look when I get to the office and make sure xlc_r looks like you describe. – pwmeyer Aug 08 '17 at 20:52
