AIX

I just installed IBM PurifyPlus on IBM AIX 5.3 and they suggested me to run the command through the following one:

Code:

% purify cc -g hello_world.c

but it's giving me the message that :

Code:

purify command not found

I need your help

Thanks In Advance

If it is installed, it might not be in the path.
You can try locating it with:

Code:

lslpp -f | grep purify

When you found it, you can add the directory to your PATH or just call it with the absolute path.

Thanks Zaxxon for your answer ..
I didn't mention that I'm so new to Unix system, I will really appreciate if you show me exactly what I have to do to "add the directory to the PATH"
I tried the command

Code:

lslpp -f | grep purify

but it didn't give any result

I just find out how to do it (to add the directory to the PATH) but it still displays the same message :

Code:

purify : not found

any ideas ?

I suspect it means what it says -- the command is not installed.

Thanks Corona688 for your reply , but I don't think that's the problem, because I had this message after installing Purify :

Code:

The rs_install command completed successfully

thanks a lot , it's working :)
I added a wrong directory :D

When lslpp did not display anything, it seems it is not handled by the AIX package manager.
It seems to be plainly installed into a filesystem/directory.

When installing this software, was there any question by the setup, in which place it should be installed?
Or maybe it wrote a log of it's installation run. Sometimes such are somewhere in /tmp.

If the setup (rs_install?) might be a script, you could have a look in there, if there is a default path being used for installation.

Yeah that's right , I created a directory for the installation ..I added the ../bin to the PATH and now it's working ..
could you please explain what's the AIX package manager ? and how it works ,?
