This section contains information about some of the files shipped with the PEX product that is important for you to know before you begin working with HP PEX.

The PEXlib Filesets

The PEXlib fileset lists are found in the /etc/filesets directory under HP-UX 9.0x and are accessible via the swlist command under HP-UX 10.x. Listing the files in this directory that begin with PEX5 will help you understand the structure of HP PEX.

HP PEX depends upon filesets of other software products in order to install and operate correctly. These filesets must be installed before you install PEXlib in your system.

The HP PEX Developer's Environment requires the header files for the X Window System Version X11R6. These are included with the HP-UX Developer's Toolkit (B2356A) or the ANSI/C HP-UX Developer's Toolkit (B2354A).

For a list of these products, please see the accompanying sheet, Read Me Before Installing HP PEX Development.
