Hi all,

I try to install ASE 12.5.1 (free download from sybase, developer
version?) on Red Hat Advanced Server 3.0

1. When I launch './setup' as 'sybase' user, I get the following:

*********************************************
InstallShield Wizard

Initializing InstallShield Wizard...

Searching for Java(tm) Virtual Machine...
.......................A suitable JVM could not be found. Please run
the program again using the option -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR>
**********************************************

Well, I DO have J2SE 1.4.2 installed (as RPM) in this machine. Anyway,
I specify the JVM location:

$./setup -is:javahome /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/

Now the software installation is fine

How did this happen?

2. Create database part: I got the following error in the first line
of the window:

"
Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errno directly.
Needs to be fixed.
"

But sybase continued to create database without further problems, and
I did see it's done successfully in the last window.

Is this error serious?

3. Now I source 'SYBASE.sh', swicth to $SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/bin and run
../lmgr. This is what I get:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library:
/home/sybase/shared-1_0/JRE-1_3/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol
__libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link
time reference

What's wrong? How can I fix this? Or do I have to fix?


4. Now I try to do 'isql' (of course after source SYBASE.sh)

$isql -Psa -U -SDREAMCATCHER

The context allocation routine failed when it tried to load
localization files!!One or more following problems may caused the
failure

Your sybase home directory is /home/sybase. Check the environment
variable SYBASE if it is not the one you want!
Using locale name "en_US.UTF-8" defined in environment variable LANG
Locale name "en_US.UTF-8" doesn't exist in your
/home/sybase/locales/locales.dat file
An error occurred when attempting to allocate localization-related
structures.


Then I 'unset LANG', now I am really able to log in from isql.

Is this normal?

I installed sybase on the same machine with the same OS by using the
same sybase CD before, and I didn't get the problem No.1 and 3. Isn't
strange?

Why this happens? Thanks for any comments.

If you set your JAVA_HOME env. variable to /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04 it'll
work fine.

This is just a warning, which you can ignore. The system works
fine.

Set JAVA_HOME to your 1.4.2 JVM and you should be fine.

This one is more annoying. Sybase doesn't include entries in it's
locales.dat file for the default locale that RHAS 3.x uses. You can fix
this fairly easily by editing the locales.dat file and adding the
appropriate line in the [linux] section. See also the FAQ for ASE on linux
at http://www.peppler.org/FAQ/linux.html.

Thanks.

But I setup JAVA_HOME (or JAVAHOME), and I still get the same errors for NO.1 and 3.

Any ideas?

They're solved.

No.1 and 3 are related to 'libc_wait', I download an OS patch from
Oracle (it's actually for Oracle 9.2.0.1 on Red Hat Advanced Server
3.0). Now both 'setup' and 'lmgr' work without setting 'JAVA_HOME'.
(Shouldn't Sybase release any patch like this? Since by default, ASE
12 cannot work 100% on RHAS 3)

For No.4, I just add one entry 'en_US.UTF-8' under 'Linux' section in
locales.dat file.

Since No.2 is 'minor', I am gonna live with that.

Thanks!
