[OPEN-ILS-DEV] SPAM: Error loading libdbi driver

[Frances Dean McNamara]

Thanks for the info.  I believe we have a setup to accommodate the university SAN which we use for storage on these machines.  Dale is working on tracking down the problem (and I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting to get some of our records loaded for review).

Hello Frances,

Sorry, I did not run into this problem.  I did do my LD path stuff differently, though.  Here is what I did:

1) Create a file named /etc/ld.so.conf.d/evergreen.conf with the following lines in it:

/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib/dbd
/openils/lib


2) To make this ld setting active run:

/sbin/ldconfig


You will of course need to update the paths in evergreen.conf to match your system.

Good luck,
DW

Dan,
Since I know you have Evergreen up on Red Hat, and you helped us before, I was wondering if you ran into the problem discussed below?  It is frustrating to be almost at the point of getting this to work and not to be able to use it to load records and test.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.

Hmm. That really doesn't make sense; I would expect a different set of
errors, at the least. open-ils.cstore should not be trying to load Pg
as a driver.

I noticed in your opensrf.xml file that you're pointing to
/opt/openils in most cases. Is there any chance that
settings-tester.pl is checking the wrong version of opensrf_core.xml /
opensrf.xml? By default, it reads /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml and
figures out which opensrf.xml to read from there: you can use the
--config option to override this if need be.

I should also point out that while in theory using a prefix other than
/openils/ should work, very few people (perhaps none) have actually
tried that out in practice. It's possible you may be running into some
hardcoded assumptions about file placement. You might want to keep
things as simple as possible to start with by sticking with /openils/
for now and keeping the number of changes to opensrf_core.xml and
opensrf.xml to a minimum.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for pointing this out. This is how I had it before. However, when I set the driver entry under open-ils.cstore and open-ils.reporter-store in opensrf.xml back to pgsql, I get the same result.
