Installing this patch

  1. Log in as root (or with administrator privileges on Windows).
  2. On Debian 3.1 hosts, set up your environment by typing:
    source /etc/profile
      
  3. Download the patch-650-3336-bpe-phrelay.tar archive to your host environment.
  4. Verify that the patch's checksum matches the one given on our website.
  5. On Windows hosts, run cmd.exe.
  6. Use the applypatch utility to install the patch:
    • On Linux, if you use sudo (as would be the case on Ubuntu), you must specify the -E option to preserve the environment. In this case, the PATH environment variable is set to a safe one for security reasons, so you need to specify the full path to the utility:
      sudo -E $QNX_HOST/usr/bin/applypatch patch-650-3336-bpe-phrelay.tar
          
    • On other hosts, type:
      applypatch patch-650-3336-bpe-phrelay.tar
          

    For more information about applypatch, see its entry in the Utilities Reference.
