Here is the exact error.  I reproduced it.

Installing Flash Objects: Mon Jul 24 21:05:36 EDT 2006

./ar_install: test: unknown operator dbVersion


Looking at the install script, it looks like the installer dies at this point:

In the stage 6 of the install script:

12299          # Import required and selected plugins
12300          ImportPlugins
12301          ImportFlash

Now in the importFlash function:

 3279  ##############################################################
 3280  # ImportFlash - Upgrade and import FlashObject Forms
 3281  #
 3282  ##############################################################
 3283  ImportFlash()
 3284  {
 3285      lecho "Installing Flash Objects: `date` "
 3286      lecho
 3287      SAMPLE_FORMS="$INSTALL_DIR/samples/en"
 3288      $CD $SAMPLE_FORMS
 3289
 3290      if [ ${DB_UPGRADE} -eq 1 -a ${ARS_VER} -lt 21 ]; then
 3291          LoadSchemaWithRIK FlashForms "${IMPORT_MODE}"
"${UPGRD_USER}" "${UPGRD_PASS}"
 3292          if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
 3293              lecho "FlashForms  failed to import."
 3294              lecho "Problems encountered while importing the
form FlashForms.def"
 3295              lecho "Please refer to the log in
$INSTALL_DIR/Logs/ for further details."
 3296          else
 3297              note "FlashForms successfully installed."
 3298          fi
 3299      fi

From the output, I can tell that the first line of this function ran.

In the ArEnvHistory file, these are the values of the vars used in the
if statement:

DB_UPGRADE=0
ARS_VER=select dbVersion from control

Obviously the if statement can't handle the sql statement.

Here is the diff to fix this (sloppy hack, for new installs only):

Has anyone successfully installed ARServer 7.0 p001 with all languages
in the following environment:

- Solaris 9
- Oracle 10g client
- Remote Oracle 9.2 db (unicode)
- non-root install
- new install

The installer crashes at the beginning of the import of the FB forms,
stating dbVersion is an invalid operator.

Other relevant install settings:
- all languages
- new install
- area plugin
- no portmapper
- webservices plugin
- all other plugins/daemons not installed (arsnmp, ardbc)
- Solaris LANG en_US.UTF-8
- Oracle NLS_LANG american

One thing I noticed is a whole bunch of arx import errors for the
localized messages form, simply because of the number of records exceeds
2000.

Thanks,
