These are just shots in the dark as I have not installed 7.5 but ... I am guessing that you are installing from an rpm? Or are you using the sap provided installer? If you are using rpm be sure that it is not being ran under alternate credentials (e.g., su <some user like nobody>) that does not have write permissions.
Lastly, be sure that /etc/services exists and is writeable manually. -----Original Message----- From: Ivan Tan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 12:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem with installation on linux Redhat 8.0 Hi All, I encountered problems with installation on my Linux machine. It does not seem to be able to open /etc/services. I am logged in as root. I am running : maxdb-all-linux-32bit-i386-7_5_0_5 The error message I get shortly after selecting option 10: please enter profile id: 10 starting preparing phase of package Base 7.5.00.05 32 bit --------------------------------------------------------- cannot open "/etc/services" to write installation exited abnormally at Fr, Dec 05, 2003 at 13:42:14 Hope someone can help me figure this thing out. Need to give a demo to management in 2 weeks time. Trying to show them what mysql/maxdb can do.
