- Ultrix 4.2A on DECstation 5000/240
-
- We would like to install DEC software such that the root-path is not /.
-
- The man page for setld says to use
-
- setld -D root-path -l location
-
- I am trying to install DEC FORTRAN v3.2.
-
- I issued the command
-
- setld -D /usr/things -l /dev/rmt0h
-
- An error came back...it said.....
-
- NO INSTALLABLE SUBSETS ........
-
- The same error occurs unless I use
-
- setld -D / -l /dev/rmt0h
-
- or
-
- setld -l /dev/rmt0h (/ being the default root-path)
-
- Is this the correct behavior for setld ?
-
- If so, how can I get arround it and install FORTRAN in my choice of
- directories?
-
- Am I going to run into this problem with all DEC software?
-
- Thanks,
-
