Re: using compaq fortran for linux on alpha
Hi, Use alien -c to also transform the scrips. The rpm's come with static libraries which are transformed into shared libraries at install time.

Re: Debian Insatll Compaq XP 1000

Re: installing kernel-image
Debian did not use initrd per default with 2.2.x. Was it possible ? Actually you cannot define a default boot configuration with aboot.conf. You just define several boot scenarios, identified by the first number in the line: 0, 1, 2 etc. You choose a specific scenario at the SRM console: boot dka0 -flags 0 or boot dka0 -flags 1 or boot dka0 -flags l The flags are passed over to aboot. So -flags l will let aboot display the configured scenarios and give you a command line.

debian already provides 2.4.21 binaries. If you want to compile them by yourself, I would suggest: apt-get build-dep kernel-image-2.4.21-1-generic This will also download the kernel-source tar.bz2 under /usr/src. The tarball already has the debian patches applied. They are important for initrd. To get the debian .config files, run apt-get source kernel-image-2.4.21-1-generic and copy the file from the config/ directory.

Re: CCC Install
Hi,
where does gcc point to ? is it gcc 3.3, 3.3 or 2.95 ? Please search for this
problem in the archives. It's been discussed before. I think it's because -V is
no longer supported in gcc 3.3

If you can correct the problem, you can rerun this script manually

create-comp-config.sh ccc-version [gcc-path]
The current invocation of create-comp-config.sh was:

Re: ccc install
Hi,
sincerely, I have found installing ccc with alien and dpkg easier than
using apt-get. After spending hours hunting for the right versions, I
ended up downloading the latest versions from the HP web site and trying
my luck with alien -c. The only package that made some trouble was ccc,
as it was trying to do some cleanup work after previous installs. I had
none, as it was a fresh woody and it failed.
You can find the summary of my ccc 'experience' at
http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/unix/ccc.html
Good luck!
