Our company recently purchased a couple of rp3440 machines. They arrived with HPUX 11.11 installed. The default setup has /lib as a symbolic link to /usr/lib.
I wanted to use some of the enhanced features of GNU softare, so I went to the HP-UX Porting and Archive center and downloaded the Core Utilities, Find Utilities, VIM, Bash and Less. The install went fine. I then noticed that grep was a separate program and when I tried to install it, I got this error message.
Quote:
The /lib directory is on a mounted volume. Cannot install software unliess /lib is on the root volume, due to shared libraries. (They reside in /lib, and must be present for most HP-UX commands to run.)
Since the other programs installed with the symbolic link, my guess was that some of the utilities now lets swinstall see that /lib is a symbolic link to another partition. I tried to swremove the utilities and got the same error message.
Any Ideas how I can correct this trouble? Do I need to do a complete new install?
Thanx for any help.
