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-641-1636-SMPmsgpass.tar archive to your host environment.
4. On Windows hosts, run cmd.exe.
5. 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-641-1636-SMPmsgpass.tar
         

   • On other hosts, type:

     applypatch patch-641-1636-SMPmsgpass.tar
         

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