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.
