HP-UX Linker and Libraries Release Notes (September, 2007 )

1. To open an HTML browser, set the DISPLAY environment variable to graphic mode.

2. Set the BROWSER environment variable to point to the location of your HTML browser. If

you do not set the environment variable, the linker automatically runs the browser located

at:

/opt/mozilla/mozilla

/opt/ns-navgold/bin/netscape

/opt/ns-communicator/netscape

Accessing HP-UX Linker Online Help

To access the Linker online help on a system on which the HP-UX Linker is installed, enter the

following command:

/usr/ccs/bin/ld +help

This command opens a web browser and displays the main page of the HP-UX Linker online

help system.

If the browser path set by the BROWSER environment variable does not exist, or if the default

browser paths /opt/mozilla/mozilla, /opt/ns-navgold/bin/netscape or

/opt/ns-communicator/netscape do not exist, the system displays a message that the

BROWSER environment variable must be set properly.
