This CD-ROM contains patches from the WorldWide Customer Support Recommended/Required list of April 1, 1998. These patches are being provided to enhance system reliability and stability.
To read the relnotes for patches, open a shell and type:
cd /CDROM
./CDgrelnotes
Then select the patch from the Products menu.
If your system is an Origin2000, Origin200 or Onyx2, you can determine which patch set to use above by running the command:
# uname -R
If the output from the command is "
6.4 S2MP"
then
none of these patch sets apply to your system.
If the output from the command is "6.4 S2MP+OCTANE" then you are running IRIX 6.4 for Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE and should use the distribution directory of 6.4_Origin200_Origin2000_Onyx2
If the output is neither "6.4 S2MP" nor "6.4 S2MP+OCTANE" then these patch sets do not apply to your Origin or Onyx2 system. Contact your local support provider for further assistance.
The "Pthread library fixes" patch has been removed from this set. To do pthreads development, please install the 6.4 posix patch set.
Users who take advantage of large page sizes for application test should install the April 1998 patch set to avoid system crashes.
The appropriate recommended/required patch set for the target platform must also be installed along with these patches for POSIX compliance.
