Re: [ferret_users] Ferret on AIX



Gary,

some time ago I made this port. In the moment there is no
chance, that I do the same with a newer version. Possibly later.
If you want to try this, I will share all my configuration and
log files ...

The ferret version which I have, runs for AIX 4.3 - 5.3. The 5.3-version is

AIX xxxxxx 3 5 00C26FEE4C00

So far, I think your problem should be solvable. But I  am not a compiler specialist,
and I cannot explain, why the symbols are missing.

My LIBPATH and similar environment variables are empty. The system has
64-bit enabled, but the executable is a 32-bit exe. 
The size is 17557688 09 Sep 2002

With the 5.3-system I have
/unix -> /usr/lib/boot/unix_mp
With 5.2
/unix -> /usr/lib/boot/unix_64

I am starting with a wrapper script as follows:

host=`hostname`
echo "starting Ferret on "$host

export LC_ALL=en_US
export LC_MESSAGES=en_US

....

start_dir=/........./5.4.1
# append a path for personal Ferret scripts
[[ -d $HOME/ferret/go ]]            && export FER_GO="$HOME/ferret/go $FER_GO"
[[ -d $HOME/ferret/ppl ]]           && export SPECTRA="$HOME/ferret/ppl $SPECTRA"
[[ -d $HOME/ferret/ppl ]]           && export FER_PALETTE="$HOME/ferret/ppl $FER_PALETTE"
[[ -d $HOME/ferret/data ]]          && export FER_DATA="$HOME/ferret/data $FER_DATA"
[[ -d $HOME/ferret/ext_func/libs ]] && export FER_EXTERNAL_FUNCTIONS="$HOME/ferret/ext_func/libs  $FER_EXTERNAL_FUNCTIONS"
$start_dir/bin/ferretgui_c $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

If you need other information to compare with your installation,
please let me know.

Greetings,
Martin
