Disk Space Requirements
For information on the disk space requirements to install HP WDB 5.7, see the Downloads website
at:
http://www.hp.com/go/wdb/
Installation Instructions
To install HP WDB, run the SD-UX swinstall command. It invokes a user interface that leads
you through the installation. It also gives you information about disk space requirements, version
numbers, product descriptions, and dependencies.
For specific installation instructions, see the HP WDB Technical Resources website at:
http://www.hp.com/go/wdb/
For more information on installation procedures and related issues, see the Managing HP-UX
Software with SD-UX and other README, installation, and upgrade documentation provided with
the HP-UX 11.x operating system package.
NOTE: If you install a compiler product that includes a version of HP WDB earlier than this
version, swinstall generates the following message:
ERROR: A later revision (one with a higher revision number) of fileset
"WDB-GUI.WDB-GUI-HELP,r=B.11.31" has already been installed. Either remove this fileset or
change the "allow_downdate”
To retain the later version of HP WDB, ignore this message. The new products are installed, and
the latest version of HP WDB continues to be available.
Debugging Core Files from a Different System
Debugging a core file on a system other than the one on which it was originally produced is
supported only under the following condition:
The correct system and user shared libraries are copied with the executable and core file to the
other system, and the location of the shared libraries is defined by setting GDB_SHLIB_PATH
or GDB_SHLIB_ROOT before debugging the core file.
For more information about these variables, see the Debugging with GDB manual available at:
http://www.hp.com/go/wdb
Table 3 lists the supported systems for debugging PA-RISC core files.
Core files produced by Integrity systems can be debugged on any Integrity system with an HP-UX
version greater than or equal to the HP-UX version on the system where the core file was
produced.
