Installing packages to multiple, nondefault locations
Use this procedure in highly specialized situations in which you want to install groups of compiler packages to multiple, different locations. For example, you could install all the compiler library packages to one directory, the runtime environment packages to another directory, and so on. However, certain packages must be installed together in the same directory.
About this task
For highly specialized situations only, you might need
to install different packages to different locations.
Note: If you want to install packages in different subdirectories,
do not install any packages in the /opt/ibm/ or /opt/ibmcmp/ directory.
Table 1 provides information about which packages must be installed together in the same directory and which can be installed in any directory.
Package Name | Package Description | Rules for installation to a nondefault location |
---|---|---|
xlsmp.msg.rte | IBM® SMP messages package | All XL SMP packages must be installed in the same location. For the remainder of this document, the name xlsmprt_path is used to refer to this location. |
xlsmp.rte | IBM SMP runtime package | |
libxlsmp-devel | IBM SMP static library package | |
libxlmass-devel | IBM Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem (MASS) package | Any location. For the remainder of this document, the name xlmass_path is used to refer to this location. |
vacpp.rte | IBM XL C/C++ runtime package | All XL C/C++ runtime packages must be installed in the same location. For the remainder of this document, the name xlrte_path is used to refer to this location. |
xlc-eval-license1 |
IBM XL C/C++ license package for the evaluation copy | Any location. For the remainder of this document, the name lic_path is used to refer to this location. |
xlc-license2 | IBM XL C/C++ license package for XL C/C++ for Linux, V13.1 | |
libxlc-devel | IBM XL C/C++ compiler libraries package | All XL C/C++ compiler and library packages must be installed in the same location. For the remainder of this document, the name xlcmp_path is used to refer to this location. |
xlc | IBM XL C/C++ compiler package | |
Notes:
|
To install a relocatable RPM package to any location other
than the default location, issue the following command for each group
of packages you want to install to a nondefault directory:
rpm -ivh package --prefix package_installation_path
where package_installation_path is a directory other than /opt/ibm/ or /opt/ibmcmp/, and corresponds to one of the appropriate paths listed in Table 1.
