I just installed Directory server under linux, the slapd starts ok after installation.
When I try ./start-admin I get this error:
SunONE-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP3 B05/19/2004 05:54
failure: server initialization failed (Interrupted system call)
Ive searched a bit and all I found is "Install TOUR 2.2" but thats for HP-UX.
Any tips for Linux? This problem seems to be common.
Yeap, I Installed it on Debian.
You mean the server admin wont run if it detects its not one of the "defined supported platforms". Im just trying to use it for testing purposes on my laptop.
We have a production server with HP-UX but I cant try things in there :(
is this ever going to be fixed or Sun makes such thing on purpose?

Thanks for giving us (Sun) bad intentions...
Debian is not a supported platform because we do not test our software with it.
There is nothing in the product that tries to detect if the platform is a supported one or not. And absolutely nothing that would make it fails on purpose.
But if any of the symbols needed by any piece of the product is not available or does not have the same signature as what we build with, the server will not start or exit, or even crash. These are the laws of software.
Such thing had happened with some versions of Linux and the Admin Server in the past (same function symbol, different signature, in fact duplicate function name between a Linux library and Admin Server's lib).

For info, I was pleasantly surprised to find that DS 5.2P4 installed and runs fine (including start-admin) on Fedora Core 5.
I guess that's just lucky in that FC is just closer to the officially supported RHEL series.
I guess the problem on Debian, as Ludo says, must be some mixup in a shared library. Not sure how fruitful it might be to try to track down the culprit using ldd....
cheers,
Rob.
