MaxDB 7.8.02 on SLES11 in vmware Problem

[Former Member]

Hi there,

i want to get familiar with MaxDB 7.8 and want to set it up inside a vmware guest. I downloaded SLES 11 (special .iso for vmware install) and also MaxDB.

I already fail at SDBSETUP:

sles11maxdb:/var/maxdb-all-linux-64bit-x86_64-7_8_02_21 # ./SDBSETUP
cannot load wxWidgets properly: Can't load './Wx.so' for module Wx: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at DynaLoader.pm line 230.

As you can see i already googled around and found ideas in regards of some libraries but everything should be fine and existing as expected, or? I also checked the prerequisits to be ok:

sles11maxdb:~ # rpm -qa|grep -i glibc
glibc-devel-32bit-2.11.1-0.17.4

gtk2-lang-2.18.9-0.4.1
gtk2-engines-2.16.1-4.26
gtk2-branding-SLES-for-VMware-11.1-0.2.1

How can i solve this issue? Is someone already running a config like this or just with older Versions of SLES?

Thanks for Ideas!

I just had an hour ago the same error.

SDBSETUP is 64bit:

# file SDBSETUP
SDBSETUP: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (us
es shared libs), stripped

so one would need to find the corresponding 64bit libraries under /usr/lib64 - do you have the libraries there too?

good point, i linked the libpng.so and libpng.so.3 to the existing one and now at least the splashscreen appears:

sles11maxdb:/usr/lib64 # ls -l libpng*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 Aug 24 11:09 libpng.so -> libpng12.so.0.31.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 Aug 24 11:09 libpng.so.3 -> libpng12.so.0.31.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 Aug 22 21:07 libpng12.so.0 -> libpng12.so.0.31.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 162896 Jun 24  2009 libpng12.so.0.31.0 

Installation afterwords just worked as expected. Thanks Markus from Markus
