ASE 15 (express edition on Fedora core 7)

[none]

Hi all,

Trying to get ASE Express to run on my Fedora core 7 system. Using
srvbuildres, I am confronted with a segmentation fault and I am stumped.
This is on a Dell D600 laptop with 1GB or memory. Also have 1GB of
shared memory configured. LD_POINTER_GUARD makes no difference. Devices
are not created...

Advice appreciated.

On the screen:

[sybase@laptop-thomas bin]$ srvbuildres -r ase.rs

Sorry - should read Developer's edition, and not express edition.

Have you looked at Jason's comments earlier in this group ?
It appears that setup and/or srvbuild resets the
LD_POINTER_GUARD value. Try creating a resource file and
running srvbuildres from the command line (having set
LD_POINTER_GUARD appropriately)

Michael,

I am only using srvbuildres, and have also confirmed that the setting of
LD_POINTER_GUARD makes no differences.

I did run the srvbuildres with strace, and it would appear (with my
limited knowledge) that the segmentation fault occurs in the process
that is supposed to build the master device. I double checked the basics
like permissions on the directory for my devices, and confirmed that
SELINUX is disabled.

I'll attach the strace output in case someone can make some more sense
of it.

From the output, it looks like your SYBASE, SYBASE_ASE and SYBASE_OCS
environment variables aren't set.

Confirmed ENV vars are set.

During srvbuildres, the segfault displays the command used to create the
master device. When I execute this command the master device is created
and visible to the OS, but still segfaults.

Command: /opt/sybase/ASE-15_0/bin/dataserver
-d/opt/sybase/data/master_fc7.dat -b120M -z4096 -sfc7_syb
-e/opt/sybase/ASE-15_0/install/fc7_syb.log -T1623

The final line in ..../init/logs/srv after executing the buildmaster
command is "Buildmaster return code: -117."
