RE: [Refdb-users] Redhat testing/installation woes

[Alan A. <al...@ru...>]

Jason,

I don't have any direct answers for you, but I have installed RefDB 0.9.2a on RedHat 9 also.  My
installation is only partially working because I had been messing with the CGI client program--the
commandline interface works fine.  However, I did experience similar problems at the start, so I
thought I'd share the little I know and ask a question or two.

First, you did also download the dbi driver files for MySQL, right?  libdbi requires the drivers to
actually communicate with the database.

Second, I discovered that RedHat does not seem to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.  I had
to set this explicitly in my startup script to make RefDB work since the libdbi files are not in
/usr/lib.  This probably isn't you're problem if you don't have the actual shared library files.

Third, my RedHat 9 installation has the following in /usr/local/lib.

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        44746 Jul 29 13:01 libdbi.a
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          708 Jul 29 13:01 libdbi.la
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Jul 29 13:01 libdbi.so -> libdbi.so.0.0.5
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Jul 29 13:01 libdbi.so.0 -> libdbi.so.0.0.5
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        58814 Dec 19  2002 libdbi.so.0.0.4
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        52070 Jul 29 13:01 libdbi.so.0.0.5

And, this in /usr/local/lib/dbd--these are the driver files.

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        18536 Dec 19  2002 libmysql.a
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          690 Jul 29 13:30 libmysql.la
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        20434 Jul 29 13:30 libmysql.so

I don't know if any of this helps you, but I thought I'd share it with you.  Hopefully, someone else
will have more information.
