Re: [staf-users] STAF fails to start on Red Hat RHEL3

[Sharon L. <lu...@us...>]

Is there a particular reason that you're not simply using the binaries 
provided for STAF (instead of building it yourself)?  Unless you have some 
reason to build STAF yourself, you should use the binaries provided.  If 
using STAF 3.0.0 Beta 7, they can be downloaded via 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/getcurrent30.php.

For example, to install STAF V3.0.0 Beta 7 for a Linux system, you can 
choose to download either STAF300Beta7-setup-linux.bin, 
STAF300Beta7-setup-linux.jar, or STAF300Beta7-linux.tar.gz.  The first two 
files use InstallShield to install STAF.  The tar.gz file uses a simple 
STAFInst executable to install STAF.  See the STAF User's Guide for more 
information.

[staf-users] STAF fails to start on Red Hat RHEL3






I am doing a review of STAF so I am new to it; however after building
STAF300Beta7 from source I am unable to start the STAFProc process on a
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 AS system. The procedure I used is listed
below. I built with -g so as to run with gdb.

Is this something that is already known is there a workaround or patch
for STAF ? I am not signed up to the users email list but would be
willing to try any patches.

How I built staf:

staf=STAF300Beta7-src.tar.gz
# cleanup any old install.
cd /tmp
rm -rf src rel obj
tar xzvf $staf

export PROJECTS="staf connprov*"
export OS_NAME=linux
export BUILD_TYPE=retail
(cd src/staf; make CFLAGS=-g)
chmod 755 rel/linux/staf/retail/STAFInst

# install staf.
cd rel/linux/staf/retail
./STAFInst -bin /usr/local/bin -lib /usr/local/lib -type fs

Problems running staf:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/staf/lib
export PATH=/usr/local/staf/bin:$PATH
export STAFCONVDIR=/usr/local/staf/codepage
