Updating a basic installation

Updates to the compiler are supplied as PTF packages. You can follow the instructions in this section to download, decompress, and install the update packages.

Procedure

  1. Download the PTF package that you want into an empty directory.
  2. Restore the compressed file and extract the PTF filesets from the downloaded package. To decompress and unpack the TAR file, use the following command:
       tar -zxvf package_name.tar.gz 
    where package_name is the name of the update package that you downloaded.
  3. Install the update package:
    • Run the install utility:
      ./install
    • Alternatively, you can install the update package manually:
      • SLES:
           rpm -Uvh images/littleEndian/sles/*.rpm
      • RHEL:
           rpm -Uvh images/littleEndian/rhel/*.rpm
      • Ubuntu:
           dpkg -iG images/littleEndian/ubuntu/*.deb
