Re: Fw: RDB data access error when I updated to LAS6.4???

Hi, Mike..

I want to install LAS6.4 on an ES 3.0 system, and I installed following packages first.

Ferret 5.7

MySQL 4.0.20 ( binary install)

j2sdk 1.4.2.03 ( binary install)

perl-netcdf 1.2.3 ( RPM install)

Date-Calc 5.0 (source install)

Log-Agent 0.301 (source install)

ParseLex 2.15 (source install)

Template-Toolkit-2.13 (source install)

Compress-Zlib 1.16 (source install)

DBI 1.32 (RPM install)

DBD 1.1021 (RPM install)

Because the perl-netcdf and DBD wouldn't install with source, so I installed them with RPM.

Then I started to install LAS.

But when I configure the LAS, the following error message occurred.

===========================================================

[vmdctest@vdcsvra ~/las]$./configure

：

I need to log in to the MySQL database. To do this, I have to connect to
your MySQL server using a privileged MySQL account that allows me to create
a new user account and/or edit the las database.
Enter name of mysql host : [vdcsvra]
MySQL account name: [root]
Enter password: [] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[vmdctest@vdcsvra ~/las]$

===========================================================

My cute boss think this is DBI and DBD modules problem...

Could you tell me the version of your installed packages, especially DBI, DBD and your perl version?

Do you have MSN account? Maybe we can talk on-line.

Thanks~~~

Hi all,

I have LAS 6.4, Ferret 5.7, DODS 3.4, and MySQL 4.0 running on an ES 3.0 system (due to go public soon). They all appear to work fine, and to work well together. My experience has been that in general, ES 3.0 is compatible with RH 7, RH 9, and Fedora binaries (but not RH 8 binaries).

The only difficulties that I ran into was that the RedHat distribution of MySQL 3.23 appeared to be incomplete, so I downloaded and installed version 4.0 from MySQL.com (which then required a newer DBD-mysql package). The perl-netcdf package just wouldn't install, so I downloaded an RPM instead. Also, the ParseLEX package required a patch, which is now included in LAS 6.4.0.1

Finally, I am using IBM Java 2-141, rather than the Sun Java distribution -- I'm not sure if this makes a difference.

Cheers, Mike

Hi cch,

We have not tested LAS or Ferret on an RH ES system yet. There is a strong possibility that we will be working with the Enterprise Server by the end of 2004. If you do install either on your system, please let us know. If others in the communty have installed LAS and/or Ferret on a RedHat Enterprise Server, please share your experience.

Thank you,
Joe

Another question is,

are LAS6.4 (with ferret5.7) and RH ES3.0 kernel 2.4.21-4.0.1 EL gfssmp #1 SMP compatible ?

Thanks!
