Re: [Tiny-cobol-users] Hello

[<ga...@rc...>]

Hello Mr. Essex!
Sorry for still disturbing you.
I made the things according to your instructions and here are my observat=
ions:
The link between libhtcobol.so and libhtcobol.so.0.62.0 and the link betw=
een
libhtcobol.so.0 and libhtcobol.so.0.62.0 is very strange , since none of =
those
files are existing , only the links!
I tried to find out dependencies.
Typing rpm -q --requires tinycobol it responded:
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
db4
glibc-devel
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <=3D 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <=3D 4.0-1
By typing ldd htcobol the response was:
libc.so.6 =3D> /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 =3D> /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
ldd libhtcobol.so.0.62.0 answered no such file or directory.
Finally I compiled successfully the little cobol program with the -ldb op=
tion.
Now I'm confused , since I'm not a cobol programmer , what do you  mean b=
y
file IO and in what situations I do need the DB for compilation.
It seems to me that this rpm type of installation is not the right one fo=
r as.
We would like to have a fully functional compiler.
So I would like to ask you to tell as which tar.gz files we need?
How to configure on RH9 , and install them?
Thanks in advance!
