Help! INGRES installation problems.
I'm trying to install Relational Technologies INGRES 6.1 on a 386
running SCO UNIX 3.2.0 with the HP version of TCP/IP RunTime. Everything
seems to install okay, but at boot the INGRES name server (iigcn) complains
about not being able to open "/dev/socksys" and aborts. The rest of INGRES
won't run without their name server present.
/dev/socksys indeed does not exist - only /dev/socket. None of the
support folks know what the problem is. In desperation I tried linking
socket to socksys, and got an "Invalid arguement" failure instead (I knew
that was too easy).
Anyone have an idea what's going on? What is /dev/socksys? Could
we need a TCP/IP upgrade? The HP disks say rev A.00.00; how does that map
to SCO version numbers? HP won't tell us unless we pay them $135.00 for a
support call.
Thanks so much,
