Latest updates


It is highly recommended to always use the latest PTF level. Click here for the list of latest product updates for IBM XL C/C++ compilers. If required, the previous PTF (VRMF: 12.1.0.2) can be obtained here.

Prerequisites

IBM XL C/C++ for Linux, V12.1 compiler, at the base level (12.1.0.0) or higher.

See the "System Prerequisites" section in Chapter 1 of the Installation Guide for base level compiler prerequisite details.

Installation Instructions

See Chapter 4 "Installing an update" in the Installation Guide (PDF).

RHEL 6

You might need this technote to help you with installing the compiler.

Note
: If the 32-bit libstdc++ package is not installed on a target RHEL6 system, running programs compiled with the XL C/C++ compiler may fail due to the missing shared library libstdc++.so.6. To resolve the issue, install the following 32-bit package from the RHEL6 distribution:

rpm -ivh libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.ppc.rpm

Download Package

Note: There is only one download package for both RHEL 5/RHEL 6 and SLES 10/SLES 11.
