For your information, we experienced the same problem when installing 7.1.4 on our HP-T500. The standard C compiler cc that came with basic HP-UX 9.04 was a subset of their standard ANSI C compiler. It's version number was A.9.19 or something in that range. We purchased the ANSI C compiler that brought us to the full C compiler. (Version A.9.61). According to the install documentation you must have at least version A.9.31? or greater. - It would be nice if Oracle told you in their requirements documentation that this version number was for their full ANSI C compiler. They don't. They let you find out the hard way then go out and purchase it after the fact. - Compiling with the new version on our T500 (an MPC server) appeared to provide better performance. (The install scripts ran faster and it resolved these warnings). We did not run the database with the old C compiler so can not state if you will have any problems.

• If you need to find out what version of cc that you are using. Change directories to the /bin directory then type "what cc". This command provides the version number of the executable.

We did not have these files in our basic HP-UX install either. We obtained them from HP. I am not sure if they are free or part of the C compiler we purchased. The HP Consultant that we had on-site installed them for us.
