gdb-7.6 Issue with porting and archive centre depot

[Marer, Scott]

I installed the HP-UX 11.31 IA64 gdb-7.6 depot from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gdb-7.6/ along with ALL the 13 run-time dependencies on a 11.31 system with no errors or issues ...

I get the following complaint when trying to run gdb :

>/usr/local/bin/gdb -?
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'liblzma.so'.
Killed

What am I missing ???
Please advise.

This is really a question for the group that created the binary
packages. If liblzma is not provided by the GDB package itself,
there ought to be a separate package that provides it. A quick
search on the internet yields, for instance:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Misc/xz-5.0.4/

I am not familiar with the HP-UX packaging system so I cannot comment
further.

Joel,

Thanks for your response, I'll look at xz-5.0.4 ...


According to http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gdb-7.6/, the Author is :

Author: Gnu Project Team <gdb-patches@sourceware.org>

This would be the group that created this depot, right ?

No. They probably meant this as the author of the code, which is being
developped collaboratively here.  But I don't know who actually
created the depot file. Accordingly, the missing dependency that
you spotted needs to be reported to them as well.

Joel,

I installed xz-5.0.4 : http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Misc/xz-5.0.4/

And gdb now works with no complaints !!! Thanks Joel !!!


>/usr/local/bin/gdb -?
/usr/local/bin/gdb: unrecognized option `-?'
Use `/usr/local/bin/gdb --help' for a complete list of options.


>/usr/local/bin/gdb

So http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gdb-7.6/ needs a dependency update, need to add XZ .
