Well, after a little tinkering, some results: - Firstly, the license does prohibit you from using Sybase under emulation. You should ring or mail Sybase and complain bitterly about this. (This isn't a Caldera issue, it's in all the releases.) - Everything is linked shared against glibc. This means you need to be super-current and have the right libraries. - Secondly, the get-you started html guide is pretty good; follow it, but also watch the install logfile (it tells you where it is when it starts). You can ignore it failing to create the 'tmp' file, but when it claims buildmaster fails you may have to run it yourself. All the arguments are in the logfile. - When the installer tries to start the database, it will fail unless you have *lots* of shared memory available; in the default case it wants about 10M. You can achieve this with: options "SHMMAXPGS=4096" options "SHMMAX=(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)" in your kernel config. Be warned; with this you will probably want at least 64M in your system. I'd appreciate hearing from any experienced Sybase admins who get this far, or who have other suggestions. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
