Updating environment variables

After you install OpenSwitch, you may need to update the environment variables. OpenSwitch supplies shell files to do this. These files are created at the end of the installation process under the root installation directory.

Go to the $SYBASE directory, and from a C shell, enter:

source SYBASE.csh

From a Bash, a Bourne, or a Korn shell, enter:

. ./SYBASE.sh

To run the coordination module sample in $OPENSWITCH/sample, ensure the $OPENSWITCH/lib and $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib are included in the environment variable shown for your platform:

Sun Solaris, Linux, and Linux on POWER – LD_LIBRARY_PATH
HP-UX – SHLIB_PATH
IBM AIX – LIBPATH

Table 4-1 describes the environment variables included in SYBASE.sh, SYBASE.csh, and SYBASE.env files.

**Table 4-1: Environment variables for UNIX**
