• When using the debugging option: cc -g , the program hangs. To go around the problem, you must execute by entering: purify cc -Wl,-Bimmediate and Purify will run without any conflicts.

Purify uses standard setup scripts. You must type

setup pure

to use this application. If you want to run this version of the software even if other versions are available, use pure-4.2 instead of pure in your setup statement.

See "helpme setup" for information on finding out what versions are available or what to do if the setup statement does not work.
