May 2009 Updates for XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V8 for Linux

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following error message is emitted when the script
  makeC++SharedLib_r is run:
  
  $ /usr/vacpp/bin/makeC++SharedLib_r \
          -o libdummy.so \
          -G \
          -bernotok \
          -p 1000 \
          -bnoipath \
          -lC_r \
          -lc_r \
          -lld \
          dummy.o
  
  ld: 0706-006 Cannot find or open library file: -l xlopt
      ld:open(): A file or directory in the path name does not
      exist.
  
  
  This does not occur if -L/usr/vac/bin is specified. The problem
  does not occur with XL C/C++ V7.
  

Local fix

• Add option -L/usr/vac/bin.
  

Problem summary

• With XL C/C++ V8 the library libxlopt.a is being installed
  in a different location. It used to be shipped in fileset
  xlopt.aix50.lib and installed under /usr/lpp/xlopt. With V8
  libxlopt.a is shipped in vac.aix50.lib and installed under
  /usr/vac/lib.
  

Problem conclusion

• The script makeC++SharedLib was updated to reflect the change in
  libxlopt.a location.
  

Temporary fix

• Add option -L/usr/vac/lib.
