E.1    General Instructions for Installing Associated Products

Associated products are installed after the initial full installation by using the setld command. The installation can be invoked from CD-ROM or RIS. Refer to Chapter 10 for more information about the setld command.

Follow these steps if you are installing an associated product from either the Associated Products Volume 1 or Associated Products Volume 2 CD-ROM:

1. Mount the CD-ROM. Refer to Section B.3 if you do not know how to mount a CD-ROM.

2. Log in as root or use the su command to gain root privileges.

3. Do one of the following, depending on whether the associated product you are loading is on Volume 1 or Volume 2:

   • If you are installing an associated product from the Associated Products Volume 1 CD-ROM, do the following:

     
     # /usr/sbin/setld -l /mnt/ALPHA/product_directory
     

     The previous example assumes the CD-ROM is mounted under /mnt. Replace product_directory with the name of the directory where the product is located. Table E-1 and Table E-2 list the directory names for each associated product.

     The setld command displays a list of software subsets available to install. Choose the appropriate software subsets from the list.

   • If you are installing an associated product from the Associated Products Volume 2 CD-ROM:

     # /usr/sbin/setld -l /mnt/product_directory
     

     The previous example assumes the CD-ROM is mounted under /mnt. Replace product_directory with the name of the directory where the product is located. Table E-1 and Table E-2 list the directory names for each associated product.

     The setld command displays a list of software subsets available to install. Choose the appropriate software subsets from the list.

Follow these steps if you are performing a RIS installation of an associated product:

1. Ask your RIS server administrator to ensure that your system is a client of the RIS server and is registered to the appropriate software environment.

2. Ensure that your system can communicate with the RIS server by executing the /sbin/ping command to verify the network connection. Enter the command in the following format and replace ris_server_name with the name of your local RIS server:

   # /sbin/ping -c2 ris_server_name
   

   Successful output of the /sbin/ping command is similar to the following:

   # ping -c2 system9
   PING system9 (16.59.l24.96): 56 data bytes
   64 bytes from 16.59.l24.96: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=1 ms
   64 bytes from 16.59.l24.96: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0 ms
    
   ----system9 PING Statistics----
   2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
   round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 0/0/1 ms
   

   In the previous example, system9 is the name of the RIS server.

3. Enter the following command to begin the RIS installation:

   # /usr/sbin/setld -l ris_server_name:
   

   Replace ris_server_name: with the name of your RIS server appended with a colon ( : ). The setld command displays a list of software subsets available to install. Choose the appropriate software subsets from the list.

E.2    Updating Reference Pages After Installing Associated Products

The apropos and whatis commands access reference page entries in the whatis database. The whatis database that is created in /usr/share/man when you initially install operating system reference pages includes entries only for those reference pages.

The whatis database provided as part of the operating system product is not automatically updated when associated product, layered product, third party, or site-specific reference pages are installed after the initial operating system installation. If the whatis database exists on your system, you should update the database by executing the catman -w command if you install product-specific reference pages. For information about using the catman -w command to rebuild the whatis database, see the catman(8) reference page.

E.3    Development Enhancements for Alpha Systems (Alternative Compiler)

The Alternative_Compiler directory contains the following software subsets: CMPDEVENH440 and CMPDEVALT440. Follow the instructions in Section E.1 to install this product.

The following describes the two software subsets in this directory:

• CMPDEVENH440 - There are static and shared libraries which contain the malloc() system call as it was implemented in older versions of the operating system. The libraries are shipped to ensure backwards compatibility with previous versions of the operating system. The file mmap_32.c is a C source file that provides a jacket for the mmap() system call. This is provided to support the Truncated Address Support Option (TASO) in older versions of the operating system. Refer to the TASO documentation for more information if your TASO code contains mmap()calls.

• CMPDEVALT440 - This software subset provides an alternative application compiler suite in the /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc.alt directory. This suite is accessed through the /usr/bin/cc.alt command and differs from the default /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc compiler suite by providing components that may deliver faster run-time performance. Performance improvements provided by the components in this suite will be delivered in the default compiler suite in future releases of the operating system. In this version of the software subset, the DEC C compiler is the only component in the cc.alt directory that is different from the default compiler suite. The features supported by this suite are the same as those documented for the default compiler suite in this release of the operating system. However, the compiler included in this suite does not contain the features necessary to build kernel objects. Do not copy the compiler provided in this suite to the default compiler directory, /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc, or you lose the ability to rebuild kernels on your system. The cc.alt suite is intended to provide more recent versions of the compiler components than those in the operating system. Because the cc.alt components will change more frequently than the base operating system components, any problems reported against cc.alt will be addressed in a later release of cc.alt.

E.4    Ada Run-Time Library Support for Alpha Systems

The DEC_Ada_RTL directory contains the ADALIB404 software subset. Follow the instructions in Section E.1 to install this product.

Inclusion of the DEC Ada Run-Time Library in the base system allows users to run applications that were linked with the DEC Ada (run-time) libraries without requiring the user to purchase DEC Ada.

E.5    C++ Class Library for Alpha Systems

The DEC_C++_RTL directory contains the following software subsets: CXLSHRDA440 and CXLLIBA440. Follow the instructions in Section E.1 to install this product.

The DEC C++ Version 5.0 compiler kits no longer provide the Class Library archive libraries when installed on this version of the operating system.

The CXLSHRDA440 software subset contains the shared libraries required for the C++ Complex and Task Packages. The CXLLIBA440 software subset contains the corresponding archive libraries.

The mandatory base operating system software subset, OSFBASE440 contains the shared library for the remaining packages, including IOStream, as well as the run-time support. The optional base operating system subset, OSFLIBA440 contains the corresponding archive library.

If you run C++ applications on your system, install the CXLSHRDA440 software subset. If you develop C++ applications on your system, install both C++ subsets, CXLSHRDA440 and CXLLIBA440 as well as the base operating system software subset OSFLIBA440.

There is no need to remove the CXXSHRDA subset that was included in previous versions of the operating system before you upgrade to this version of the operating system. However, you must remove the old CXXSHRDA subset before you can install CXLSHRDA440.

The CXLLIBA440 subset will not install if your system has the DEC C++ Version 1. n compiler installed. Before you install the CXLLIBA440 subset you should upgrade the DEC C++ compiler to Version 5.0 or later.

E.6    COBOL Run-Time Support Library for Alpha Systems

E.7    DECevent Management Utility

The DEC_EVENT directory contains the DIABASE290 software subset. Follow the instructions in Section E.1 to install this product.

The DECevent utility is an event management utility for this operating system that provides the interface between a system user and the system's event log files. This lets system users produce ASCII reports derived from system event entries. The format of the ASCII reports depends on the command entered on the command line or on the command entered from the graphical user interface (GUI). Command line commands are restricted to 255 characters. Event report information can be filtered by event types, date, time, and event entry numbers. Event report formats can be selected from full disclosure to very brief information messages. The -i (include) and -x (exclude) flags provide a wide range of selection criteria to narrow down the focus of event searches.

The DECevent utility also offers an interactive command shell interface, accessible with the command --int, that recognizes the same commands used at the command line. From the interactive command shell users can customize, change, or save system settings.

DECevent uses the system event log file /usr/adm/binary.errlog as the default input file for event reporting, unless another file is specified. To produce a translated report using the built-in defaults, type the following command at the command line:

# dia

To produce a translated event report using the GUI, click on the translate/auto icon in the DECevent GUI menu bar.

Users need super user privileges to use the translation and reporting features of DECevent, unless the event log file privileges have been changed to let all users read the event log file.
