1: Installing nspostgres-4.0 to aolserver-4.5.0 : make: execvp: /usr/local/aolserver: Permission denied
Posted by Bjorn Thor Jonsson on 10/05/06 02:26 AM
Hi,

Having installed AOLserver 4.5.0 successfully to /usr/local/aolserver, I get the following error when installing the postres driver:

root@hugtakasafn:/usr/local/src/aolserver-4.5.0/nspostgres-4.0# make install POSTGRES=LSB ACS=1 INST=/usr/local/aolserver AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver
/usr/local/aolserver -d /usr/local/aolserver/bin -e nspostgres.so
make: execvp: /usr/local/aolserver: Permission denied
make: *** [install-mod] Error 127

on an Ubuntu server 6.06.

Am running this as root, which owns all the files in /usr/local/aolserver and has exec privs on them.

Does anyone have an idea why this may be?

INST has changed its meaning in aolserver 4.5.0. Peviously, it referred to the install directory, now it refers to the install program. I am using the following small patch and compile with
NS=/usr/local/aolserver-4.5
...
make AOLSERVER=$NS POSTGRES=/usr/local/pg807 ACS=1 install
The install-file of Malte sets NSHOME directly (see http://cognovis.de/entwickler/tips/aolserver/aolserver45/)
