Open Server, SDK, and Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is compiled and linked with the Visual Age compiler, XLC version 7.0, and prior to installation the runtime libraries for the Visual Age compiler must be installed on your system. Before installing the runtime libraries, check to see if the Visual Age runtime packages have been installed previously, by issuing the following command:
rpm -q vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0
If a “vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0” message is returned, then the Visual Age runtime packages have been installed and you can proceed with Open Server, SDK, and ASE installation.If a “package vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0 is not installed” message is returned, then the Visual Age packages have not been installed, and you must download the XLC v7.0 runtime executables from the following location:
.
Follow the instructions on the Web page to download and install the packages on your system. Select the package from the download table for the appropriate OS, RedHat 3.0 or SUSE Linux 9.0. Following the installation of the XLC Version 7.0 runtime libraries, proceed with Open Server, SDK, and ASE installation.
If you do not install these runtime libraries, you will
receive an installation error.
WARNING! If you are installing on an NFS remotely mounted disk, run df against the mount points. If it fails, there is an NFS problem and your install will fail.
Prior to installing SDK or Open Server on Linux PowerPC, version 12.5.1, run the following command:
df
If df fails to return to the command prompt, then the SDK or Open Server install will fail, since it requires df to determine the available space on a file system. A reboot clears the problem with df. If this is not a viable option, you will need to work with your system administrator to resolve the issue with df before proceeding with the installation of SDK or Open Server.
