running(RH 7.2 && ASE 12.5.0.1) == false !?
Jörg Issel
again i need some help :(
after I had problems with RH 7.3 and ASE 12.5.0.1 (ASE_DEV) I switched to
RH 7.2 which is official supported by Sybase....
After a default installation of RH 7.2 and installing the Sybase-RPMs
(everything seems to be OK).
I modify the memmax with 'sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=67108864'
Then I register my ASE_DEV license.
My next step was 'srvbuild'
I try to install the master and sybsystemprocs files in /opt/sybase-12.5/
(home of my sybase-User and user-rights are sybase.sybase, NO
raw-devices!), but again i received a error message for building the
master.dat !!??
The log looks like this:

Which version of glibc do you have on your machine?
(btw - I've had good success with RH 7.3 using the glibc that are
included in that release)

i do the same steps with 7.3 like i do with 7.2 now, but the same result !!
I have NO raw-Devices and i try to create the master and the sybsystemprocs
DBs in /opt/sybase-12.5

thanks for your perfect support in this NG!! :)
i have following glibc-version
rpm -qa|grep glibc

i try RH 7.3 before! but i have also the same problem ??
Thx

Strange.
I've installed ASE 12.5 on quite a few RH 7.3 systems, and I've never had
a problem, as long as I remember to set the shmmax value before starting.
Are you doing this on "stock" installations, or have you applied any
changes before installing Sybase?
apeter
ASE_DEV does not need to run 'lmgr', you can run 'srvbuild' direct !!
Jörg Issel
no, i just finished the installation of RH (german) as a Server (reboot),
set the shmmax , create user sybase (home is /opt/sybase-12.5), start KDE,
login as sybase, check the enviroment ($SYBASE etc.) and start the
installation of the Database....
Remember, i try to install ASE 12.5.0.1 DEV on RH 7.3 and 7.2, both are
unsuccessfull!
any idea?

Sorry - no.
Try to post this same information on the ase-linux-list (see my homepage
for subscription information). There are a few Sybase engineers who hang
out on that list, and they may be able to give you more specific answers.

sybase should be supported under $SYBASE/locales/locales.dat or unset)

I have installed the ASE_DEV versoin on RH7.2 and RH7.3. problem in both
cases was shared memory. If Sybase has not enough memory it fails to create
the master device at the end of serverbuild. My method of increasing the
shared mem is: echo 150000000 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax. Sybase 12.5 needs
a lot of shmem.
You can put this line in the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local so it gives the shared
mem every time your server starts. The output of ipcs -lm should be
something like max seg size 146484.
I am running now a version on RH7.3 but it is installing very very slow.
My version on RH7.2 runs fine.

Look at sysctl(8) and /etc/sysctl.conf. That's a much better way of
managing kernel parameters.
