Ingres 2.5 Disappearing Ingres Libraries on Solaris 8 / UltraSparc 3

Author	Message
William Ave #1 / 6	Ingres 2.5 Disappearing Ingres Libraries on Solaris 8 / UltraSparc 3 Hullo again all, We have a new Sun server, a SunFire 280R. We install Ingres SPARC SOLARIS Version II 2.5/0011 (su4.us5/00). Everything works, including the terminal monitor. After a few hours we go back, and Ingres is still working, but when we try to start up the terminal monitor the frame library is missing. ld.so.1: itm: fatal: libframe.1.so: open failed: No such file or directory Much to our surprise we find that the file $II_SYSTEM/lib/libframe.1.so has indeed disappeared. In fact libq, licompat, and libiinterp have also gone. It has happened twice now. Has anyone seen this before? Is it a new LicenseIT feature? An UltraSparc 3 funny? Any help much appreciated. In the meantime I may fiddle with the file permissions to see whether ingres or root is doing it. Will Avery

Pirvu, Arma #2 / 6	Ingres 2.5 Disappearing Ingres Libraries on Solaris 8 / UltraSparc 3 Are you sure that the variable(s) which are pointing to those libraries are defined? Check out the .profile . You should look for something like LD_LIBRARY_PATH In C shell, "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /lib:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ". In Bourne shell , "LD_LIBRARY_PATH =/lib:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ". Hope this helps.

Stefan Lindne #3 / 6	Ingres 2.5 Disappearing Ingres Libraries on Solaris 8 / UltraSparc 3 We run 2.5/0011 since a few weeks on several machines (no sparc III, just sparc II) and had no similar problems.

That error message is the one we would always get when you do not set the environment variables properly. E.g., if you set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and II_SYSTEM in your .login file, but switch users in terminal window without doing a full login.

I found, quite recently, that every time I started Ingres, the C compiler broke. However, it also broke at other times! Investigation showed that /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc was being truncated to 0 bytes, and this turned out to be because some{filter}had overwritten /bin/logger with a directory listing; some of the "commands" therein had the form: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 20 Feb 28 16:47 /bin/cc -> /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc I should monitor the disappearing files (possibly via cron) and run something like lastcomm for the appropriate period for users able to remove this file. Exercising parts of the install whilst monitoring the files might be useful. Another thing you might do, for csh users, is to set their savehist & history to (say) 999 and nose about in .history files. Richard.
