Has anybody seen the following error during compiler installation
using install++ under sr10.1. It occurs when installing both ftn
and pascal and possibly others, however phigs installs perfectly!
RAI Install Tool V1.08 5 Dec 88
Installing //merlin
ERROR:For product apollo.pas: apollo.os version 10.0 was not found
RAI install has completed with errors
Please check the transcript pad for a description of the errors
Apollo suggested that I do the installation manually - not much fun.
If anybody knows why it happens or is aware of a work-around I'd very
much like to know.
Thanks,
Robin

Robin,
I have seen the problem you are experiencing. Here is an unofficial,
paraphrased explanation with my editorial comments in []s:
Problem: When installing the install tool says "Could not find
apollo.os 10.0"
Cause : The RAI tools did not "trust" the baseline file as it was
writable [the file is "AA/baseline/baseline.nnnnnnnn"].
Therefore, the tools checked the information on all
dependant products in the baseline file against that in
the release index to verify the validity of the baseline
file. Since all products depend on the OS, if the release
index for the OS could not be found, the above error was
logged.
Status: This constraint has been relaxed for the OS in SR10.1 and
later.
You need to find the latest version of the install tools that you can locate,
I don't have the proper version numbers handy, but I usually took the latest
product release tape I could find and restored from that. You don't say what
version of DOMAIN OS you are actually running, so I cannot offer much more
advice.
Disclaimer: I speak for myself only.

The problem is that install++ wants to see the release index file for your OS to check out the revisions of the system libraries. This can fail if your compiler AA is not the same as your OS AA. You can work around this by creating a link in your compiler AA that points to the OS AA. For example: suppose that you are running sr10.1, the OS AA is on //george, and your compiler AAs are on //mike. (IE "ri.apollo.os.v.10.1" is in "//george/install" and "ri.apollo.pas.v.8.7.m" is in "//mike/install") The workaround is to create a link called "ri.apollo.os.v.10.1" in //mike/install that points to "//george/install/ri.apollo.os.v.10.1". EG: $ /com/crl //mike/install/ri.apollo.os.v.10.1 //george/install/ri.apollo.os.v.10.1 If you no longer have your OS AA around, you don't need to panic, all you need to do is to restore the OS release index file from the distribution tape. (IE all you really need is "/install/ri.apollo.os.v.10.1/ri.apollo.os.v.10.1" not the whole OS AA for the compiler installs.) Dave Funk

(odd, since I'm running 10.1). I deleted my original AA to save disk space, which is probably the problem. How do I pull just the release index off tape? Do I use rbak, or distaa, or what? What rbak command line will pull off a single file? Also, the install++ complains that syslib wasn't found either, which is probably a related problem. Does anybody know what release index I need to pull off for this? By the way, this is NOT a problem that is fixed in 10.1. I am running 10.1, and using the latest version of the installation tools pulled of the fortran 10.7p distribution tape. It seems that this all represents a serious bug in the installation procedure, particularly since the Apollo documentation explicitly says you can delete your AA after you are done, if you want. And what if the OS was installed from an AA on a different machine than the compiler AA? With lots of distributed AA's you'd need links flying all over the place. This one really cries out for some fixing
