Summary: AIX install fails

Initial Comment:
Install of ooRexx 3.1.2 on AIX 5.3 (5300-04-01) fails with the following message:

 CAUTION: Detected a previous rexx installation!
          Please deinstall the old rexx product.


Unable to deinstall (don't think it was ever installed but might have been from IBM way back when).  In any case the deinstall fails and the OVERWRITE option doesn't help.  

What is being checked here or needs to be cleaned up to allow the install to work?

Thanks,
Bill

Hello,
sorry for the delayed answer...

The installer checks if the following files are present:

if [ -f /usr/bin/rexx  ] ||
   [ -f /usr/bin/rexx.img ] ||
   [ -f /usr/bin/rexxc ] ||
   [ -f /usr/bin/rxqueue ] ||
   [ -f /usr/bin/rxsubcom ] ||
   [ -f /usr/include/rexx.h ] ||
   [ -f /usr/lib/librexx.so ] ||
   [ -f /usr/lib/librexxutil.so ] ||
   [ -f /usr/lib/librxsock.so ]
 then

If one if these files is present then the install aborts.
This basically checks if an old IBM Object REX / ooRexx was installed.
All Rexx versions prior to ooRexx 3.1.x need to be installed manually.

If no installp/rpm package with an old Rexx is installed on 
this system you need to manually delete the above files.


Bye
