Adabas D: install error: Bad Flag "-xxxxxxx", must be one of ...

Applies to

Adabas: Version 11.0
Adabas D

Symptom:

You want to install ADABAS D 11 and are using the install program provided on CD. After starting ´install´ you are prompted for the installation directory (where the tgz of ADABAS reside) and DBROOT (the main directory where to install ADABAS D 11). Trying to procede does not work because an error message pops up:
Error: Bad Flag "-xxxxxxx", must be one of -type string (abortretryignore) Choices to offer
A this point you are unable to continue and the installation must be canceled.

Cause:

The install program on CD tries to determine the free disk space on the partion where you want to install ADABAS. If this is above 2 GB an interal counter gets an overrun which the program cannot handle.

Solution:

Please use an updated version of ´install´. You´ll find it at

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/Adabas/11.0/updates/install.gz

which has to be unzip´ped (gunzip install) before use or

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/Adabas/11.0/updates/install

as a non compressed version.
