XL C/C++ compiler error 1501-287 :This compiler does not support AIX 6.1

Question & Answer


Question

I have installed the XLC/C++ v9 compiler on AIX 6.1 and receive the following error message when compiling. cc: 1501-273 A mismatch exists between the OS level and the configuration file. The configuration file /etc/vac.cfg is intended for AIX 5.3. Use vac.cfg.61 to correct the problem.

Cause

The XL C/C++ v9 compiler was released before AIX 6.1 and is unaware of AIX 6.1.

Answer

Install the latest fix pack for the version 9 compiler and C++ runtime. The latest fixes can
