MSINSTALL Errors on XENIX System V PSS ID Number: Q20258 Article last modified on 06-24-1988 PSS database name: B_COBTools

XENIX

Summary: When attempting to MSINSTALL COBOL Tools on an IBM Version 2 (the XENIX date in the root directory is 2/3/86), the following messages appear at the end of the installation:

/etc/fixperm: bad version executable file: /usr/bin/viewcob

These messages are displayed because fixperms is expecting an executable file compiled under the System V “C” Compiler. The executable files still work properly, even though they were compiled under System III.
