Hi, I am running gentoo linux with: kernel version 2.4.23-aa2 gcc-3.3.3-r6 python-2.3.3-r1 perl-5.8.2-r1 bison-1.875
After failing to successfully install maxdb from sources using the development ebuild (gentoo specific), due to an unknown dependency problem, I opted for the binary release:
maxdb-all-linux-32bit-i386-7_7_00_12.tgz; md5 was ok
I set up the user sdb and the group sdba as per default, and ran the executable ./SDBINST.
I chose 10) All; installation exited abnormally
Without too much debugging work here I decided to get the latest version available:
maxdb-all-linux-32bit-i386-7_7_00_14.tgz; md5 was ok
I got the same problem at the same point.
I then went through to test each profile with the following results: 0) installation exited abnormally 1) success 2) success 3) success 4) success 5) success 6) success 7) success 8) success 9) success 10) installation exited abnormally
Obviously, a problem with the server install. I watched each step and the installer first tested all the tgz files that it would extract with 100% success. When the second run (real extraction) occurred, the installer successfully extracts the first three archives, namely:
SDBBAS.TGZ
SDBUTL.TGZ
SDBKRN.TGZ
at which point I get:
checking unpacked archive... ok installation exited abnormally at (date...time..etc)
I am expecting the next thing to do would be to unpack PCR7500.TGZ. However, this doesn't even start.
I manually extracted the archive PCR7500.TGZ and get: PACKAGEDATA instpcr pcr.1st runtime/7500/bin/irconf runtime/7500/bin/irtrace runtime/7500/lib/libpcr.so
the md5's for each of the three runtime files matches those offered in pcr.1st
The following text is found inside PACKAGEDATA
INTERFACE_VERSION = "0.1"
PACKAGE_NAME = "PCR 7500"
PACKAGE_VERSION = "0"
SOFTWARE_VERSION = "7.5.00.14"
MODE = "32"
MIN_VERSION = "7.4.02.00"
TYPE = "FULL"
TEST_FILE = "runtime/7500/lib/libpcr.so"
ALLOW_SKIP = "1"
MAGIC_MODE = "64TO32"
DEFAULT_USER = "sdb"
DEFAULT_GROUP = "sdba"
PART_OF = "Client,Server,Runtime For SAP AS,APO LiveCache,Development,C Precompiler,DB Instance"
IS_TOP_OF = "Runtime For SAP AS"
REQUIRE = "Base >= 7.5.00.14"
FILELIST = "pcr.lst"
SCRIPT = "instpcr"
If anybody else has seen this problem or has some idea about what is going wrong or better still a solution, please reply (btw: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 gives me other errors about libc.so.6 and also still get the same error as above). I suspect that possibly the dependency problem I was experiencieng when building from source may be related, so I have included versions of bison, perl, python and gcc (at top). Is there anything else that maxdb server depends on, particularly at the flawed part of the install?
