xlc_install options

The xlc_install utility provides the following options:
-h
Displays the installation utility help page.
-rpmloc rpmlocation_path
Explicitly specifies the path where all compiler packages are located. The default rpmlocation_path is ./platform/rpms, which is relative to the path of the installation tool. Therefore, the default rpmlocation_path is one of the following:
  • ./RHEL4/rpms (if you are installing on RHEL4U2)
  • ./SLES9/rpms (if you are installing on SLES9 SP2)
  • ./SLES10/rpms (if you are installing on SLES10)
  • ./Y-HPC/rpms (if you are installing on Y-HPC or YDL)
Note: For most users, the -rpmloc rpmlocation_path option is not required in the installation invocation. If you use the utility directly from the CD or electronic image, it will automatically determine the source location of the packages.
-U
Updates the compiler to the Version.Release.Modification-Fix (V.R.M-F) level that the installation utility version supports. For more information, see Running the xlc_install utility to update a basic installation.
-v
Displays debugging information.
-vv
Displays more detailed debugging information.
