Instructions for what to do *after* building a distribution seem to be a little on the light side (if you don't use rpm that is).

So anyway this is what I did:

Suppose that the distribution archive made by buildrel + tar is located in /tmp/ingres-103.tar.

The confusing thing is what to do next... I guess I was looking for a file called install.sh or similar in the archive...after a while of reading the getting started guide (*not* the Linux one, as that seems to be all about using rpm):

$ cd /usr/local/ingres
$ export II_SYSTEM=/usr/local/ingres
$ export PATH=$II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/utility:$PATH
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib
$ export TERM=Eterm    # yep - using enlightenment :-)
$ export TERM_INGRES=wxterm

$ mkdir ingres
$ cd ingres
$ tar -xvf /tmp/ingres-103.tar install
$ cd install

Now something strange happens:

$ ./ingbuild -all /tmp/ingres-103.tar

simply returns 0 immediately (and installs nothing), whereas:

$ ./ingbuild

will install everything fine if '/tmp/ingres-103.tar' is entered as the distribution and 'ExpressInstall' is selected.

I.e - *only* interactive mode seems to work (is this expected?).


So now the good news, the resulting install works fine! Thanks for the quick replies, which were very helpful!

Cheers

Mark
