revert to revert to bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.41 ?

  • 1.  revert to revert to bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.41 ?

    Hi All,

    We have bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.50, but we need to revert to
    5.3.0.41 (see explanation before roasting me please).

    I tried,

    installp -acF -d ./bos.rte.libpthreads.5.3.0.41

    But it tells me this is not a base fileset. Do I have to revert to
    the one on the CD first?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    ----------(optional)

    WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT ?

    Before we knew this issue, to fix a customer's problem we linked a
    custom build of one of our binaries on a machine with
    bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.50. 5.3.0.50 introduced a new symbol
    dependency __pth_init into our binary not present in earlier versions
    of bos.rte.libpthreads.

    Customer only has 5.3.0.41, and we still have many other customers on
    this or earlier. So we need to relink our code against a version of
    bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.41 or earlier in order to continue to
    provide fixes.

    They are very very good at these issues and they will work through the problems, error messages and get you fixed up.

    You have paid for Support - right?
