If you run the Star Office Adabas installation, it *writes* this in
your ~/.bashrc:

# by Sun Microsystems setup
DBROOT=/usr/local/adabas
DBWORK=/usr/local/adabas/sql
DBCONFIG=/usr/local/adabas/sql
PATH=$DBROOT/bin:$DBROOT/pgm:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DBROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DBROOT DBWORK DBCONFIG PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

If you set these variables then the local installation will find
Adabas without complaints.

And no, it didn't ask before writing to .bashrc, and it didn't say a
word about it after writing. At least it left /etc alone.

BTW, some permissions will have to be changed to allow your uid to
access the database directory (DBWORK). Else it will fail silently.

But even if you set the proper permission, it will dump core anyway:

x_start: Unsuccessful startup, see diag file for errors
Clearing Custom
cat: load.prot: No such file or directory
ls: util*prot: No such file or directory
rm: too few arguments
Try `rm --help' for more information.

[1]+  Abort trap              ~/office52/soffice

Too bad the diag directory is empty. At least you can read Word
attachments... :)

bye,
  Jimmy
