Re: It's not funny any more!

Malcolm, Please check the following web page: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/linux/ids.html This will give you the right hint! Your glibc (libpthread) is not correct. bye Sandor malcolm weallans <malcolm.iiug@bto penworld.com> To Sent by: informix-list@iiug.org owner-informix-li cc st@iiug.org Subject It's not funny any more! 22.07.2004 15:51 After my problems last week starting IDS 9.3 on SUSE Linux (SLES 8) we decided to rebuild the client's machine from the ground up. We reinstalled Linux and in the process removed passwd and group files. We then installed IDS 9.40.UC3 and today I am trying to get IDS to work. I did what I normally do. I edited the onconfig file and did an oninit -i. It wouldn't come up. So I aborted everything, and started again. This time I did oninit -iv and it failed once again. It gets to the bit about "Bringing up ADM VP" and then just hangs for ever. ps -ef | grep oninit shows that there are two oninit processes running, and the second one is eating cpu power. ipcs shows that two segments of shared memory have been allocated. In desperation I tried running onmonitor and ran through parameters - initialize and went through all the screens without making any changes. And this time it came up. I shutdow IDS by Take Offline and tried to run oninit -v again. Still it would not come up. Now I'm really baffled. I'll even offer a prize of some unworn Informix T-shirts or polo-shirts to the person who can unravel this mystery. (The winner payes the postage! I'm not that generous!) regards Malcolm Weallans sending to informix-list sending to informix-list
