I've had this under Linux. There you have to remove the directory /usr/spool/sql before starting a new install.I've been playing around with SAPDB and I got it to install under AIX. I had made a mistake with one of the directories (I misspelt it) and I wanted to do a reinstall.I proceded to remove the directory where I installed SAPDB. When I reran SDBINST, I got the following error: start package for release independent database software ------------------------------------------------------- WRN: history path "/home/sapdb/indexp_data/config/install" not found compareReleases(): file "/home/sapdb/index_prog/bin/x_server" not found installation exited abnormally at Tu, Nov 26, 2002 at 11:41:29 writeHistory(): cannot create/open historyfile "/home/sapdb/indexp_data/config/install/SAPDB_history" "/home/sabdp/indexp_data" is the misspelt directory I was trying to reinstall in order to fix. It's someone trying to find my old install. How do I "reset" so I can install? Where does SAPDB look to know there was a previous install? I tried search for all sorts of files, include dot-files, but nothing.
Hope this helps
