Are you able to read these screenshots?

 

by: Joe_WoodhousePosted on 2009-11-06 at 05:25:58ID: 25758829

Mm, I can't read them either, when I zoom in they're too jagged.

Rather than giving us screenshots, can you give us error messages and install logs?

Sorry, when I saved them in small sizes I did not check again.
I am out of the office for the weekend, but I will attach the log files on monday with the error message description.

anyway, I did finish the installation by "hand" using the scripts installmaster, installcommit, etc... but I have the logs and I would like very much to find out what is the problem.
get back monday with the log files.
thanks guys!

Sorry for the delay:

the options used were:
master device = /dev/raw/raw1
procedure device /dev/raw/raw2
system device /dev/raw/raw3

the message is:
warning: unable to verify /dev/raw/raw1 device size. Please verify that this device is not already in use and that it has sufficient space available.

warning: unable to verify /dev/raw/raw2 device size. Please verify that this device is not already in use and that it has sufficient space available.

while it does not run in graphic mode, I was able to create by shell without any problem.
Just would like to know why I cannot do it in graphic installation mode, but I was able to do it by "hand"

There are a couple of known issues here. Firstly if your glib version is below 2.5 you need to set

LD_POINTER_GUARD=1

This must be set in your environment before starting ASE. Best to put it in the profile of the Sybase Linux login.

Secondly there also seems to be a known bug in the installer on some Linux distros where you cannot install and configure (build) a new ASE in the same session. Best to install ASE, exit the installer, then separately build ASE.
