IBM XL C/C++ for Linux provides
an interactive utility,
xlc_install,
that walks you through a basic installation. Installation of
IBM XL C/C++ for Linux using
xlc_install is
considered basic provided that one of the following conditions are
met:
- There are no instance of IBM XL compiler currently installed on
a system.
- There is an older version of XL C/C++ installed
on a system that needs to be replaced with IBM® XL C/C++ for Linux®,
V11.1.
- IBM XL Fortran for Linux, V13.1 is
already installed on a system.
In this case, both compilers will
use the IBM MASS library provided with IBM XL C/C++ for Linux,
V11.1.
For
information about installing IBM XL Fortran for Linux, V13.1 , refer to the IBM XL Fortran for Linux, V13.1 Installation
Guide.
- There exists an instance of IBM XL C/C++ for Linux,
V11.1 installed
on the system that has to be updated.
The xlc_install utility
will ask you to accept or decline the license agreement. If you accept
the agreement, the license files will be output to .txt files for
your future reference. If you decline the agreement, the installation
process will exit without installing the compiler and no files will
be written to your machine.
You should consider using basic installation of
IBM XL C/C++ for Linux,
V11.1 with
xlc_install utility
on a system as long as
both of the following conditions apply:
- You are installing the compiler to the default location, /opt/ibmcmp/.
- You are maintaining a single version of the product on your system.
If
either of
these conditions does not apply, do
not use the
xlc_install utility.
Instead, use the procedures in
Advanced installation.
