Hi all,

have installed the developer version of SQL Anywhere 11
on a linux machine (kubuntu) but whenever I try to start
Sybase Central it shows for some seconds in the task bar
and then disappears without any error message. Any
ideas?

TIA

Hi Chris,

Try starting it from a terminal window (assuming you're using the menu items) and see if any error messages appear. Use the following commands:

. $SQLANY11/bin32/sa_config.sh
scjview

Also, what version of Kubuntu is it, and is it 32-bit or 64-bit? Is Sybase Central the only tool you're having problems with? Can you start dbisql successfully?

Hi Ray,

thanks for your answer. This is the first time I've to setup an ASA server
on Linux, have used only Windows servers so far.
Trying to start the applications in the bin32 directory from the shell (yes,
this is a 32 bit version of Linux) gives me an error message saying that
the Java Virtual Machine DLL isn't found and the key JRE_DRRECTORY
in the INI File must point to a directory where the DLL can be found.
How can I solve that? Must I install a JVM by myself? Or can I search
for it an edit the INI file accordingly? And which INI file I'd to edit, is
it util_db.ini?

Thanks again

Hi Chris,

There is a JRE included with SQL Anywhere and located in $SQLANY11/sun/jre160_x86. Do you have that directory on your machine?

Sourcing sa_config.sh should be sufficient to set up your environment. No INI files should be required in your case.

Does your sa_config.sh have the following lines:
PATH="$SQLANY11/sun/jre160_x86/bin:${PATH:-}"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$SQLANY11/sun/jre160_x86/lib/i386/client:$SQLANY11/sun/jre160_x86/lib/i386/server:$SQLANY11/sun/jre160_x86/lib/i386:$SQLANY11/sun/jre160_x86/lib/i386/native_threads:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}"
export PATH
[ -z "${JAVA_HOME:-}" ] && JAVA_HOME="$SQLANY11/sun/jre160_x86"
export JAVA_HOME

And is JAVA_HOME set correctly after you source sa_config.sh?

Hi Ray,

thanks a lot again.

There is no directory sun/jre160_x86 (not even sun) in the SQLAnywhere
folder.
I believe there's something wrong with the installation. Is there a step by
step
installation instruction available? I can't find something like this.

Best regards

Hi Ray,

I've to correct myself:
There is a directory "sun" but it contains only a "javahelp" subdirectory
but
no "jre160_x86".

Hi Chris,

That is odd. Does the sa_config.sh file contain the lines I mentioned below?

What version and build of SA 11 is this (e.g., 11.0.1.2044, or 11.0.0.1264, or something else)? If this is 11.0.1, did you use an 11.0.0 or an 11.0.1 key to install (what is the URL where you
registered for the developer edition)?

There are some installation instructions in the readme file in the root of the install (i.e., the place from where you ran the setup script), but it's a fairly simple procedure, and there shouldn't be
any tricks to it. When you run the installer and enter your key, do you see an "Administration Tools" option in the component selection menu (should come after "SQL Remote for SQL Anywhere" and before
"Samples")? Are you running the GTK installer, or are you running the installer from the command line?

Finally, in your $SQLANY11 directory, there should be a file named install_<date>-<time>.log. Could you send it to me via e-mail?

Hi Ray,

this is the content of sa_config.sh:
============= snip =======================
#!/bin/sh
#
echo "iAnywhere Solutions Inc. One Sybase Drive, Dublin, CA 94568, USA"
echo "Copyright (c) 2001-2009, iAnywhere Solutions Inc. Teil-Copyright (c) "

PATH="$SQLANY11/bin32:${PATH:-}"
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$SQLANY11/lib32:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
============= snap =======================

It is version 11.0.1 , I don't know the build and how to find that
information I've
downloaded it here

http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1016644

and got a licence key via email.

I red the readme but found no special informations which would explain
the behaviour.
Yes, I see an the administration tools option in the component selection
dialog.
I run the setup from a commend line as follows:

cd ga11
sudo ./setup

I'll send you the file install_20090917-1210.log via email.

Thanks a lot again
