1: Sigsegv error installing OpenACS
Posted by Kevin Crosbie on 05/08/02 01:27 PM
Hi all,

I'm installing OpenACS 4.5.1b on Redhat 7.2. I have Oracle 8.1.7 installed.

I followed Bruno Mattorollo's notes on Oracle on Redhat, which told me to downgrade glibc to version 2.1.

After the Oracle install, I reverted back to glibc version 2.2.

When I went to install the OACS, and got to "Installing Core Services", I got the following error loading the content-repository Java functions: 

Acs-core-docs instantiated as acs-core-docs.

Package enabled.

This is the top part of the Stack Trace. I didn't think any more was relevant, and it's really long: 

SIGSEGV received at bffff2b8

libjava.so. Processing terminated
jre full version "JDK 1.1.8 IBM build l118-20000713 (JIT enabled:

Has anyone seen this before or know how I might get over it?

Cheers,

Kevin

2: Response to Sigsegv error installing OpenACS (response to 1)

Hi all,

well, problem solved.

I found this doc:
http://lists.suse.com/archives/suse-oracle/2001-Oct/0172.html
and it tells you to unset LANG (which I believe was in some of the installation docs, you can definitely find it here:
http://server.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/oracle/RH7.0/copies/oracle-install.shtml)

Basically, you need to go edit your .bash_profile and the up script for Aolserver and unset LANG.   Just removing it probably won't work, as LANG could be set somewhere else by the o/s.

Restart AOLServer, drop and recreate your user, and restart the install.

Anyway, that's the solution to that problem in case anyone else gets it.

Cheers,

Kevin
