Hi. Is there any INGRES expert out there who could help me with an error which I am not able to comprehend myself? The problem I am trying to solve is as follows (briefly) : I have a parser for parsing a file to create a database using INGRES. I have all this on the VMS and am trying to create a library database. The procedure is as illustrated below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ ru parser Enter input file : library.isml Enter output file (con:) : out1.lib Echo the input? (Y/N) : n Acknowledgements? (Y/N) : y Ingres tables dump? (Y/N) : n Working ..... Can't create database directory 'DB_INGRES:[INGRES.data.lib1]' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Exiting CREATEDB %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The database is not created and the system aborts. Most of the comments are not INGRES comments and are included in the PARSER to benefit the user. My question pertains to message by the INGRES. Has anybody come across an error of that nature and if yes, what is the reason? Thanks to all those of you who took time to look at the problem. I would appreciate any suggestions, however small they may be. Bye. Sujai Asur.

The error you're getting one or more configuration/setup problems. The last
time I saw something like the message you're getting, I had attempted to
create (accidentally) a database on a disk where I had no write privs. Similar
problems can result from installation related protection problems or failed
user authorizations in Ingres 6.x versions.
