Hallo. I've been basing my head on this for over a week now (up until the last 2 days I kept finding possible fixes) and IBM hasnt been all that helpful for typical support reasons (why do they care if I can make an RPM? they provide 2 installers and a manual process! isnt that enough? /end sarcasm). Anyways.. let me provide a bit more information. I was going to try building the rpm in the same manner that we do some other 3rd party software distributions, which is basically to run the installer scripts in the %install portion of the script, gather up the files and move on. This didn't get me where I needed to be, and about that time IBM released a new draft of their "DB2 Up and Running on Linux" which provided very basic information about a new installation method as of version 9 of DB2, payload files (tarballs). Basically the procedure is to pick the payload files you need, extract them all into a specific directory, and then run this 1 command and viola, you have a working install to begin setting up. Sounded simple enough, and doing it manually works great. So I implemented this in the spec file, extracting all the files and such in %install and then running the command in the %post section (this way any locally specific voodoo can happen). The installation all looks great, but when I try to execute one of the commands that is part of the standard configuration setup (specifically I'm trying to run`$IBMDIR/instance/dascrt -u dasusr1`) it fails. So far I've verified all the files permissions and ownerships, everything matches. I also have SELinux disabled. As far as I can tell they are identical, except the RPM install won't let me run the commands, but the manual one will. I have also tried setting the RPM to not run the 1 command so that I do it manually after the files have just been placed on the system (which should remove and enviromental idfferences cause now it also gets run directly as root) and it still doesnt work. My biggest problem is that I just don't know where to go from here, any insight would be great. thanks -greg swift _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
