[Linux-ia64] installation help

[Jian Chen]

Hi,

I downoaded ski and nue, and installed with:

rpm -Uhv ski-0.943l-2.i386.rpm
rpm -Uhv nue-1.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uhv nue-fs-1.2-1.i386.rpm

I verified my installation with hello.c, but found
that the compiled binary file can't be executed. Does
anyone know why?

My system is Redhat Linux 7.3, CPU Intel Pentium4
2.00GHZ, gcc version 2.96 20000731.

Thanks.

On some systems, the RPM post install script does not properly
execute the init script necessary to get the IA-64 binary
executed by the simulator. It is very easy to fix.

As root, simply type:

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/ia64fmt start

Then you will be able to run the IA-64 binary inside the NUE environment.
Note that next time you reboot your system, the rc script will be executed
automatically.

I would guess no. You would need to reinstall only if during the
installation of this compiler they need to run an IA-64 binary.
