ASE Dev Edition 1503 install on Ubuntu Linux fails

[jaelee]

Hi,

Following syntax error is encountered:

$ ./srvbuildres -f ../install/SYBASE.rs ./srvbuildres: 1:
Syntax error: "(" unexpected $ uname -a Linux sybase-srvr
2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686
GNU/Ubuntu Linux

How would this syntax error can be worked around?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your help.
However, the same syntax error is still encountered when I
try

$ ./srvbuildres -r ../install/SYBASE.rs

What would be the problem?

Can you post the complete/full contents of your SYBASE.rs file?

Also, what do you get from running the following commands:

===================
ls -l srvbuildres
srvbuildres -help
srvbuildres -v
===================

Hello,

I believe below is the content that you asked for...

$ ./srvbuildres -r ../init/sample_resource_files/SYBASE.rs

Do you also get an error if you run the following:

==============
.srvbuildres -v
==============

----------------

Since these aren't Sybase-related errors ...

> $ ./srvbuildres -r ../init/sample_resource_files/SYBASE.rs
> ./srvbuildres: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

... and ...

> $ dataserver -v
> /home/sybase/ASE-15_0/bin/dataserver: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected

I'd guess a problem with your OS environment.

What shell are you using for your command line?

Can you check your environment variable definitions (especially PATH) as well as any aliases you may have defined.

The error message from running 'dataserver -v' looks a little odd in that I would expect the error message line to start
with 'dataserver:' and not the full path of the location of the dataserver command (at least that's the way it behaves
in my Solaris and Linux environments).

What do you get if you run the following commands:

===============
which dataserver
which srvbuildres
===============

What happens if you run the following commands by referencing the full path of the binaries:

===========================
/home/sybase/ASE-15_0/bin/dataserver -v

/home/sybase/ASE-15_0/bin/srvbuildres -r ../init/sample_resource_files/SYBASE.rs
===========================
