Running the new_install utility (for advanced users)

The new_install utility does the following:
  • Backs up any existing configuration file
  • Queries the RPM database for the paths to the compiler packages and the path to the 32-bit GCC (gcc32path) and the 64-bit GCC (gcc64path) in the PATH environment variable, and then uses the obtained values to execute the vac_configure utility
  • Installs the license file
  • Generates the configuration file in the default location /etc/opt/ibmcmp/vac/8.0/vac.cfg
To run the new_install utility:
  1. Change to the directory that contains the compiler executables:
       cd  installation_path/vacpp/8.0/bin/
    where installation_path is the installation location of the compiler packages. If the compiler is installed in the default location, installation_path is /opt/ibmcmp/.
  2. Run the following command:
      ./new_install
  3. Read the licensing agreement and licensing information. If you agree to the licensing terms, accept the license agreement and licensing information.
