[Openroad-users] OpenROAD 4.1/0403 on Linux

[Pete Rabjohns]

Thanks for everyone's help on this.

I now have a Suse 9.0 Linux running OR4.1/0403 connecting to a SQL
Server database. (I was not brave enough to try installing Ingres on the
same machine).

The connectivity seems a bit 'random' at the moment, but that could be a
function of the VM - had to repeat the same connection request several
times before it finally connected OK.

Hopefully I can improve on the 5 day installation schedule :-)

The environment variable name is LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thanks Simon,

I found a way around it, using the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL env variable, but I
must admit that the whole experience is rather like drilling holes into
your own teeth with a very blunt and slow drill. 

There was some great gotchas.. Like you need to ensure that the
II_SYSTEM in the right place... I started out in /etc as II_SYSTEM
(forgive me if this a big mistake in the Unix world, but it seemed like
where all the other software went).

After hours of messing with privs and ownerships, I eventually got the
installer to work if I installed in the Ingres home folder
(/home/ingres). Still had a few errors during the Ingres/Net setup
phase.

However, the installer does not automatically update the PATH env var,
which I have done, but the doco refers to updating a LIB env var so that
the executables can find the Mainwin libraries, but not sure what env
var name that actually is.. I'll try LIB, see what happens....

In the background I managed to dig out an old distro of Red Hat 9, so
I'll try my luck on that one as well - but guess I'll still hit the same
issues with getting the system to find the mainwin libraries.

Thanks
Pete

You cannot.  Either install OR 4.1 on SuSE 8 or some other Linux with
Kernel 2.4, or install OR 2006 on a more recent release.  Even that
wouldn't work on a kernel more recent than 2.6 if there is such an
animal.
