CXXREDIST600.ki

Redistributing libcxx.so


Instructions for  installing libcxx.so from the tar file:

 1. Check which CXX subsets are installed:

       setld -i | grep CXX | grep installed

    If either subset CXXLIB600 or CXXREDIST600V01
    is installed, there is no need to install from
    CXXREDIST600V01.tar.

 2. Untar the file by entering the command tar xvf
    CXXREDIST600V01.tar.

    This creates a setld kit for installing libcxx.so in
    directory CXXREDIST600.kit.

 3. Log in as superuser.

 4. Install by typing the following and selecting the
    subset displayed:

       /usr/sbin/setld -l CXXREDIST600.kit

 Implementation Notes

 For DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0D and later, /usr/shlib/libcxx.so
 (installed by the operating system) contains the support
 needed for DIGITAL C++ Version 6.0.

 For DIGITAL UNIX versions prior to V4.0D, the libcxx sub-
 set and the restribution subset both install 

       /usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx/libcxx.so

 to avoid overwriting the version of libcxx.so installed
 by the operating system (/usr/shlib/libcxx.so). When
 linking, the compiler passes -rpath /usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx
 -L/usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx to ld. This causes ld to search
 /usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx before searching the system libraries,
 and the loader to search for libraries in that directory
 when loading code for execution. If you specify -
 rpath explicity, you need to make sure to specify
 /usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx in the path string in addition to
 any other directories that you want searched.
