Re: Loading gcc.4.1.1.tar.Z. for 7-zip

Hi Charlie,

The code is going to expect GCC 4.1.1 to be installed in /usr/local/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/4.1.1

The tarball should automatically extract to that location if you start it from the root of the IFS. So you should do this:

cd /
tar xf /path/to/gcc.4.1.1.tar

Replace "/path/to" with whatever directory you put the gcc.4.1.1.tar file in.

I find myself very frustrated with this whole situation. I'm trying to figure out how I can make this easier. I didn't realize that it was so difficult for people to do... for me, it was a no-brainer, but then I have lots of Unix experience, and I just didn't realize this was so hard for someone who lacks that experience.

Yes, but it wasn't helpful.

I just went back to the main page.

It occurred to me that the instructions for installing gcc.4.1.1.tar.Z just might be the same as for installing
p7zip. (I didn't originally install p7zip myself, someone else did.)

Since I already uncompressed gcc.4.1.tar.Z, giving me gcc.4.1.tar the next step was to run this:
tar xf gcc.4.1.1.tar

That added a new folder, usr.

But still, I'm getting the same error when I do a 7z.

7z
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program 7z because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module libstdc++.a(libstdc++.so.6) could not be
loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libstdc++.a(libstdc++.so.6).
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.
0509-021 Additional errors occurred but are not reported.

From the looks of things, may be I shouldn't have had gcc.4.1.tar in the same folder as 7z before I tarred?

The contents in my Object Links are as follows:

Directory . . . . : /usr/local/lib/p7zip

Object link

Thanks for any help I can get,

Charlie
