Re: ODS 7.22 on IRIX
Joe
I have similar problems on a Control Data Corp EP/IX machine which is the
same port as the SGI - IRIX 6.x I believe. I try to run OnLine 5.07 on it.
One of the problems which you might want to look into is:
the machine should be switched to SVR4 mode, so that it is correctly setup
for ABI compliance.
If you don't you can get hanging / malfunctioning latches and everything
will stall. In our site we can run approx. 24 hours before this occurs
Since Informix (UK) is still looking into the matter I am not sure this is
all there is to it but if you want to keep in touch please send me an
E-mail
