Have you created a file /etc/opt/sdb as described in sources.readme in the source distribution? - UNIX/Linux: Create the file /etc/opt/sdb, which must be world readable and contain the following lines: [Globals] IndepData=<indep_data_path> IndepPrograms=<indep_programs_path> SdbOwner=<current_user> SdbGroup=<primary_group_of_current_user> where <indep_dat_path>: - an existing directory - subdirectories wrk and config must exist and be writable by <current_user> - this is the default directory for newly created databases, so it shouldn't be placed on a small partition <indep_programs_path>: not used by the development environment (because $SAPDB_NO_INDEPPATH is set) <current_user>: You could use another user, but this would require that the following program in $TOOL/bin are set to suid root: instdbmverifypw <primary_group_of_current_user>: If the file /etc/opt/sdb exists from another MaxDB installation, then it is best to replace the existing file during development. Otherwise you would overwrite files in your current installation. >It specifically says the errors were ignored, but I wonder if they are >supposed to be? Further, how does it know I am NOT the sdb owner? The error can be ignored if you want to create an installation package of MaxDB. If you want to test the software from the build directory, /etc/opt/sdb has to be created.
