I was not aware of a later version than what I put on
Encompasserve. While I submitted the code to the maintainer for
rebuilding the kit, I had not heard of any new releases.
Encompasserve.org is running GNV 2.1-2 + patches that have been
submitted to HP. The GNV kit at the HP web site is still 2.1-2.
The version of GNV on Encompasserve puts the BIN logical in the
process table instead of the system table as the HP version did at
the time I installed it, so deassigning it to run Perl is the thing
to do.
I just did a quick check. With out the logical name BIN defined
there are a number of things that will not work. This is because
with out that logical name, the CRTL redirects "/bin" to be "/SYS
$SYSTEM"
Eisner may have the current version of GNV installed, but it does not
appear to have the current version of the set-up command procedure.
This is Eisner:
$ search gnv$gnu:[lib]gnv_setup.com bin
$! Add GNU:[BIN] to path if it's not already there.
$ call add_path dcl$path gnv$gnu:[bin]
$ call add_path vaxc$path gnv$gnu:[bin]
$! Some hacks: Logicals needed until the binaries in GNV can be fixed.
$if f$trnlnm("BIN") .eqs. ""
$ define bin gnv$gnu:[bin]
$ bash :== $gnv$gnu:[bin]bash
Here is one of my systems with GNV v2.1-2:
$ search DISK$ALPHASYS:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.GNV.LIB]GNV_SETUP.COM bin
$! Add GNU:[BIN] to path if it's not already there.
$ call add_path dcl$path gnu:[bin]
$ call add_path vaxc$path gnu:[bin]
$ bash :== $gnu:[bin]bash
As you can see, there is no longer a logical named bin, nor is there a
gnv$gnu logical. Nor, as I understand it, is there any reason to have
those as it's all done by mount points now. On the other hand, I'm
pretty sure you're the one who told me that, so maybe I'm missing
something.
