Hello,

I need help on following topic.
Our system is Vax 6520 vector.Two month ago we were using
VMS 5-5-2. We installed DEC C(Ver 5.0) and AACRT060 (DEC C /C++
run time libraries) during that time. Later we upgraded our
system VMS 6.1 and we also installed UCX 4.0. Everything was
working fine and crt$startup.com was not giving any error message.
Now, we upgraded our system to VMS 6.2. But, we are getting following
error message when we start crt$startup.com.
----------------------------------------------------------------
From:	GUBIM::SYSTEM       "CRT$STARTUP.COM Image Ident checking procedure" 22-MAR-1996 13:04:35.06

CC:
Subj:	Image Ident regression(s) on C/C++ Run Time kit images

    The DEC C/C++ Run Time Components kit startup procedure in
    SYS$STARTUP:CRT$STARTUP.COM checks to insure that the proper file
    versions are still being used.  One or more of these checks has
    failed, as specified below.  This is most likely caused by the file(s)
    being replaced during a VMS upgrade or other product installation.
    This problem may, in turn, cause additional startup or execution
    problems.  To remedy these problems, reinstall the DEC C/C++ Run Time
    Components kit, AACRTxxx.A.  For more information, see the release
    notes in SYS$HELP:CRTxxx.RELEASE_NOTES.

When I again install aaacrt060, I am still getting same error.
I have checked the image in backup of VMS 6.1, VMS 6.2, VMS 6.2 savesets
and ucx 4.0 with anal/image/out=a.anl cma$tis_shr.exe. I have found
the followings.


Backup Of VMS 61: CMA V2.11-152 ( I couldn't also find where this image
with this version comes from)

VMS 6.2(running system): CMA V1.12-169

VMS 6.2 savesets      : CMA V1.12-169

UCX 040               : CMA V210-036

AACRT060              : CMA V210-036


Although, evertyhing works fine in VMS 6.2, CRT$startup giving error.

First, How can I fixed this problem.

Second,Where cma$tis_shr.exe with V2.11-152 comes from.

I also installed cma$tis_shr.exe (V2.11 and V2.10) into the system with
install utulity, But, everthing (telnet,ftp,lynx,gopher etc) in the
system stops working.

I would be appreciated if I can get help for this problem.

Thank you

The Answer is:

    You should not run CRT$STARTUP on OpenVMS V6.1 and above.  It is only
    for OpenVMS V6.0 or below.  You should not install AACRT060 (DEC C /C++
    run time libraries) on OpenVMS V6.1 and above.  You should not attempt
    to run the IVP either.

    Then everything should work fine.  If however, some applications don't
    work, you have already messed up your C RTL libraries.  You need to
    re-update to Open V6.2. Or you could pull the C RTL from the V6.2
    distribution.
