This repository contains the latest Community Editions of IBM XL C/C++ for Linux and IBM XL Fortran for Linux.
XL C/C++ Community Edition and XL Fortran Community Edition are unlimited license, no-charge, fully functional products and do not include official IBM support.
You can provide feedback at the XL on POWER Community Edition forum:

For product information, including how to purchase the licensed versions, see:
- XL C/C++ for Linux product page at http://ibm.biz/xlcpp-linux
- XL Fortran for Linux product page at http://ibm.biz/xlfortran-linux
Notes:
-This repository is for the ppc64le (Power little endian) architecture only (running 'uname -i' should return 'ppc64le').
-The 60-day fully functional evaluation versions are no longer available because the Community Editions are unlimited license, no-charge, and fully functional.
-This repository continues to have 'eval' in the URL to avoid breaking systems that already use this URL.
-If you are upgrading from a beta compiler, see the beta notes at the end of this page.

dpkg=$(which dpkg 2>/dev/null)
rpm=$(which rpm 2>/dev/null)
ID_LIKE=''
if grep -iE '^ID(_LIKE)?=' /etc/os-release 2>/dev/null | grep -iE 'ubuntu|debian' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
ID_LIKE='ubuntu'
elif grep -iE '^ID(_LIKE)?=' /etc/os-release 2>/dev/null | grep -iE 'sles|suse' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
