IBM XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux Run-Time Environment
Component is compatible with the following operating systems:

-   Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 Update 3 (RHEL3)
-   Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 (RHEL4)
-   SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (SLES9)
-   Terra Soft's Y-HPC v20050115 (Y-HPC)



III. Installation Instructions
==============================

To install the IBM XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux Run-Time
Environment Component, complete the following steps:

1. Download, unzip (with gunzip), and untar the rpm packages.

example:
	$ gunzip vacpp.rte.70.sles9.mmmYYYY.update.tar.gz
	$ tar -xvf vacpp.rte.70.sles9.mmmYYYY.update.tar

       where:
              mmm  is the month
              YYYY is the year

2. You must uninstall any previous versions of the rpms already
installed on your system.
   Do not uninstall rpms that you are not upgrading.

To uninstall an rpm package, use the following command:

	rpm -e <package name>

You must uninstall rpm packages in the following order:

	rpm -e vacpp.rte-x.x.x-x
	rpm -e xlsmp.rte-1.x.x-x
	rpm -e xlsmp.msg.rte-1.x.x-x

where:

x	refers to the level of the rpm package installed on your system.
	To determine the level, use the following commands:

		rpm -q vacpp.rte
		rpm -q xlsmp.rte
		rpm -q xlsmp.msg.rte

In cases where an rpm package is required by other installed packages,
as it occurs if you have XL Fortran Advanced Edition V9.1 for Linux
installed on the same system, the package may not uninstall.
To upgrade a shared package, specify the --nodeps option with your
rpm command. For example:

	$ rpm -e --nodeps xlsmp.rte.1.5.0-0

3. Install the packages using the following command:

	rpm -ivh <package name>

You must install the rpm packages in the following order, dependent on
your operating system:

SLES9 and Y-HPC

	rpm -ivh xlsmp.msg.rte-1.5.x-x.ppc64.rpm
	rpm -ivh xlsmp.rte-1.5.x-x.ppc64.rpm
	rpm -ivh vacpp.rte-7.x.x-x.ppc64.rpm

RHEL3 and RHEL4

	rpm -ivh xlsmp.msg.rte-1.5.x-x.ppc64pseries.rpm
	rpm -ivh xlsmp.rte-1.5.x-x.ppc64pseries.rpm
	rpm -ivh vacpp.rte-7.x.x-x.ppc64pseries.rpm

where x represents the version number.


IV. Deinstallation Instructions
===============================

If you do not require the XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux
Run-Time Environment Component, uninstall the component as follows:

	rpm -e vacpp.rte-7.x.x-x
	rpm -e xlsmp.rte-1.5.x-x
	rpm -e xlsmp.msg.rte-1.5.x-x

where x represents the version number.

In cases where an rpm package is required by other installed packages,
