Subject: Ingres 6.3 fixed/ported (#248) Index: /usr/ingres/* 2.11BSD Description: The version of Ingres present in /usr/ingres/PORT/ingres.tar.Z has never worked since it was originally placed there in 2.9BSD. Repeat-By: Observation and reading the /usr/ingres/PORT/README file. Fix: Thanks to Tom Helbekkmo (tih@nhh.no) there is now a functional Ingres for 2.11BSD! He did all the hard work - my contribution was to clean up the documentation (it now formats without errors and even looks half decent when printed). The complete kit is 1.1MB (uuencoded it is 1.5MB) so posting would mean many large parts that would have to be reassembled, etc. The ingres.tar.Z file may be retrieved from FTP.IIPO.GTEGSC.COM via anonymous FTP in the directory /pub/2.11BSD. Once the file has been retrieved you should perform the following steps: 0) su to root (or log in as root) 1) rm -fr /usr/ingres/PORT 2) Create a 'ingres' user in your password file. The home directory should be /usr/ingres. The line in the password file should look something like this (the particular userid you use may be different) ingres:*:39:74:Ingres Owner:/usr/ingres:/bin/csh 3) Add, if it is not already present the 'ingres' group to /etc/group. The line in /etc/group should look like this (the particular group id you use may be different): ingres:*:74: 4) cd /usr/ingres uncompress /tmp/ingres.tar.Z # or wherever you placed the file tar -xpf /tmp/ingres.tar chown -R ingres.ingres /usr/ingres patch -p0 < /tmp/248 # the /VERSION patch from below 5) su to ingres (or log in as the ingres user) 6) cd /usr/ingres/source make go off and grab a soda (or beer if you prefer) - it will take a while to compile and link everything. Ingres is now installed. If you have not previously done so then this would be a good time to reconfigure the kernel with the Ingres lock driver. See patch #232. That update should have already been applied, adding the Ingres lock driver is simply a matter of changing the line in your kernel config file from "INGRES NO" to "INGRES YES", running 'config' and remaking the kernel. At this point you will probably want to format and print the documentation. In the directory /usr/ingres/doc you will find several directories of documentation and a Makefile. If you have access to a larger system with 'groff' installed you can do a "make groff" and create postscript files which can be printed on a laser printer. There are the targets 'nroff' and 'troff' which can be used if a postscript printer is not available - the tables will not look as nice but the informative text will be readable. Actually creating databases or running the tutorial is not covered here. The documentation in /usr/ingres/doc/other should be formatted and printed. Or you could drop Tom (tih@nhh.no) a mail item - I'm sure he'd be glad to hear from folks using the fruits of his labor ;-) --------------------------cut here---------------------- *** /VERSION.old Fri Jun 9 20:57:38 1995 --- /VERSION Wed Jun 21 20:02:33 1995 *************** *** 1,4 **** !
