ADABAS D 6.1 and 10.0 on SuSE Linux 6.2
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 6.2
Adabas: Version 6.1, 10.0, 10.0.5
Symptom:
You have installed your ADABAS D version 6.1 or 10 on your SuSE Linux 6.2,
but programs such as xcontrol can no longer be started, instead the
prompt re-appears.
Cause:
SuSE Linux 6.2 has Unix98 PTY support available and also contains the special
files necessary for this. ADABAS D however is tied into an old version of
libc5, which does not yet support this.
Solution:
The only solution for this problem is not to use the Unix98 PTY Support.
Edit the file /sbin/init.d/boot and comment out the mount
command, which binds in the pseudo-filesystem:
if test $DEV_PTS_MOUNTED = false ; then
ECHO_RETURN=$rc_done_up
# echo -n Mounting /dev/pts.
# mount -t devpts -ogid=5 -omode=0620 devpts /dev/pts || \
# ECHO_RETURN=$rc_failed_up
echo -e "$ECHO_RETURN"
fi
Newer versions of ADABAS D (that is, from version 11) are bound to the
glibc and do not have this problem.
