If the static library for a used shared library doesn't exist 
(e.g. libcurses.a on HP-UX 11.00 and Linux) then the vltMakefile 
assumes it needs to be built and of course fails.

This happens with the compilation of the ccs module 
(it is the only case where the problem has been discovered) 
where libcurses is needed. 

A proper way to avoid this problem has still to be found in the 
vltMakefile, but a simple workaround is to 'touch' the libcourses.a 
library. As root, run the command: 

# touch /usr/lib/libcurses.a

just after the OS installation of the machine and before starting any 
compilation (the build of the VLTROOT in particular).

The tool vcc has a bug when creating an LCU environment in the 
case of a network with subnet mask different from ffffff00. 
This bug is documented in the SPR 20030204 and has been fixed 
with vcc 2.87 
A tar gz file with this vcc is available under the section: 
"Patched files" of the APR2003 release notes.

Depending on your application requirements, the default settings for
the 'max_thread_proc' kernel parameter might be too low.

Use sam as described in "install_APR2003_CCSLite.ascii" to set the
value for 'max_thread_proc' to 384 and compile a new kernel.

Note: Your system will reboot as soon as the new kernel is ready.

The mib2agt daemon is started automatically at boot time and, because
of a memory leak, it slowly nibbles at the available RAM.

To prevent this, download the patch PHSS_27858 from
ftp://ftp.eso.org/pub/vlt/vlt/pub/releases/APR2003/patchedFiles
and insytall it as usual, e.g.:

sh PHSS_27858
swinstall -s `pwd`/PHSS_27858.depot PHSS_27858

Note: No reboot is required.
