Hi experts,

I am currently trying to create a .toc file on a AIX 5.3 box. But when typing in the command 'inutoc /tmp/xlc/PTF', I get no error message but the .toc file is not created.

I currently have root access to the box

I'm trying many ways

- positionning into the '/tmp/xlc/PTF' directory and typing 'inutoc .'

- positionning on the '/' directory and typing 'inutoc tmp/xlc/PTF'

- positionning on the '/usr/sys/inst.images' directory and typing 'inutoc /tmp/xlc/PTF'

No error but no new .toc file created.

the command 'ls -l `find / -name "*.toc"`' only return old .toc files

-rw-rw-r--    1 root     system         6129 20 avr 2010  /tmp/xlc/PTF/runtime/.toc
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     system         7920 20 avr 2010  /tmp/xlc/PTF/urt/.toc
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     system        34282 26 avr 2010  /tmp/xlc/PTF/usr/sys/inst.images/.toc

Any idea what the problem might be ?

Can you put here an extract of ls -l command in /tmp/xlc/PTF ?

The .toc is only created where the pakages are (in the same foler as packages files).

You dont have any package in your list, so that's the main explanation.

Thanks Stephnane.

according to http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21215669

I assumed that <PTF directory> was the newly created directory where the 'uncompress' and 'tar x' were executed.

In fact wich is <PTF directory> ?

look for rpm or bff files in you subfolders, by i'm not optimist with the list you wrote here.

none of them.

too bad.

I finally succeeded installing what I want in the rpm way.

I need no more the compiler, but I would have preferred to understand what was the matter...

I think I understand.

The package I've downloaded was certainly not a PTF one. Its name was 'xlcpp.11.1.0.1.aix.eval.tar.Z' and not 'xlcpp.11.1.0.1.aix.eval.ptf.tar.Z'
