Terms and Conditions: By downloading, installing, copying, accessing or using this software you agree to the terms and conditions outlined in the License Agreement. Please review the License Agreement and License Information documents prior to proceeding with download or installation.

Installation instructions

To install this software, complete the following steps:

  1. You must install the Runtime environment packages before installing the addons packages, if installing both.
    Starting from XL C/C++ 13.1 RTE, vac.lib is renamed to libxlc-devel, and xlsmp.lib is renamed to libxlsmp-devel.

  2. Download, unzip and untar the rpm packages.

    For example:

    gunzip {filename}.tar.gz
    tar -xvf {filename}.tar


  3. You must uninstall any previous versions of the rpms if any are installed. Do not uninstall rpms that you are not upgrading.

    To uninstall an rpm package, use the following command:

    rpm -e {package name}

    You must uninstall Runtime environment rpm packages in the following order:

    rpm -e vacpp.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD
    rpm -e xlsmp.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD
    rpm -e xlsmp.msg.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD

    You can uninstall addons rpm packages in any order.

    For example:

    rpm -e libxlc-devel.x.x.x-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD
    rpm -e libxlsmp-devel.x.x.x-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD

    where x.x.x.x-YYMMDD or x.x.x-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD refers to the level of the rpm package installed on your system.

    To determine the level, use the following commands:

    rpm -q vacpp.rte
    rpm -q xlsmp.rte
    rpm -q xlsmp.msg.rte
    rpm -q libxlsmp-devel
    rpm -q libxlc-devel

    In cases where an rpm package is required by other installed packages, for example, XL Fortran, the shared package may not uninstall. To upgrade a shared package, specify the --nodeps option with your rpm command.

    For example:

    rpm -e --nodeps xlsmp.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD


  4. Install the packages using the following command:
    rpm -ivh {package name}

    You must install the Runtime environment rpm packages in the following order:

    rpm -ivh xlsmp.msg.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD.ppc64.rpm
    rpm -ivh xlsmp.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD.ppc64.rpm
    rpm -ivh vacpp.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD.ppc64.rpm

    You can install the addons rpm packages in the following order:

    rpm -ivh libxlc-devel.x.x.x-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD.ppc64.rpm
    rpm -ivh libxlsmp-devel.x.x.x-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD.ppc64.rpm

    where x.x.x.x or x.x.x-x.x.x.x refers to the version number, and YYMMDD represents the build date of the rpms.

  5. Uninstallation Instructions

    To uninstall Runtime environment component, run the following commands:
    rpm -e vacpp.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD
    rpm -e xlsmp.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD
    rpm -e xlsmp.msg.rte-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD

    To uninstall addons software, run the following commands:
    rpm -e libxlc-devel.x.x.x-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD
    rpm -e libxlsmp-devel.x.x.x-x.x.x.x-YYMMDD

    where x.x.x.x or x.x.x-x.x.x.x refers to the version number, and YYMMDD represents the build date of the rpms.

    In cases where an rpm package is required by other installed packages, that package might not uninstall.
