Installation Instructions

Review the installation instructions.

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

You can install this software using the System Management and Installation Tool (SMIT) utility.

You must log on as root or have the superuser authority.

To install this software using the SMIT interface, follow these steps:

  1. Download the desired package.

  2. Uncompress and untar each package into a separate empty directory, using the following command:

    zcat .tar.Z | tar -xf -


  3. Run the following command:

    smit install_latest

    This command invokes SMIT, which presents a menu-driven user interface for the installation process.
    First specify the INPUT device/directory of the software by typing in the name of the directory that contains the extracted package.


  4. If you have read the license agreement and agree to its terms, you must select yes next to Accept new LICENSE agreements? to continue with the installation.

  5. The default values can be modified according to your preferences.


Notes:

  • You must install the Runtime environment package before installing the Utilities package, if you install both packages.
  • To ensure that all necessary filesets are installed, keep the default setting of SOFTWARE to install as _all_latest; otherwise, you have to specify the filesets individually.
  • You can preview the installation process without installing the software by selecting yes next to the Preview only? field.
  • Press Enter when you are done customizing the options to start the installation process.
    Installation starts and messages are displayed as each part is installed. The installation log is stored to the $HOME/smit.log file.
  • If you select _all_latest, SMIT will attempt to install all runtime filesets. As a result, you might see the failed installation status for some message catalog filesets because of missing prerequisites. Ignore those errors if you do not need the runtime message catalog(s) for the national language(s).

Impact Assessment
Impact Description

This is a maintenance release. It contains fixes for client-reported and internally found defects.

Test Results

Definitions

Regression: An error in the Maintenance Delivery Vehicle (MDV) that produces incorrect or unexpected behavior causing a supported feature to stop functioning as designed.
This includes:

  • Coding errors that cause a regression
  • Documentation or packaging problems that cause a regression
  • Errors reported in a new function delivered in a MDV that cause a regression

Incomplete: An error in the MDV has not regressed, but does not work as designed.
This includes:

  • Fixed APARs which did not solve the original problem but did not break anything new
  • APARs reporting documentation errors, such as readme errors, that cause problems applying an MDV but do not lead to a regression


Notes:
  • Regression and incomplete APARs are considered fix-in-error or MDV-in-error
  • Definitions above apply only to valid APARs that result in product fixes (APARs returned as working-as-designed are not assessed for being fix-in-error)
  • Issues in major releases due to new functionality do not apply in this definition

There are no known regressions to report.

Technical Support

The IBM XL Fortran for AIX Runtime environment is not supported as a stand-alone software product.

If you suspect a problem with the IBM XL Fortran Runtime environment component while using it with a third-party application, contact your application provider for support.

Full support (installation, defect support and general questions) for the IBM XL Fortran Runtime environment component is available with the software subscription and support agreement for the XL Fortran Compilers.

A suitable test case is required for defect support; review technote 1260804: Test case preparation for IBM XL compilers support for details.

Depending on your application, you may also need to install the IBM XL Fortran for AIX 15.1 Utilities package.
* The Utilities package contains files that may be required by some third-party applications.
* Only download and install the Utilities package if instructed by your application provider.
