It looks like others are having the same problems I had in
getting Ingres going... In order to save others some time,
here's what I did to get Ingres going on Linux 0.98 + TCP/IP 0.8.1:
1. Create an account called `ingres', password '*'
su to ingres.
2. Unpack ingres.lzh into ~ingres.
3. Copy ingres.setup into ~ingres
4. Unpack update1.lzh into ~ingres, then run fix.
5. Go into source/iutil, edit the Makefile to delete references to
-linet. If you don't do this, the concurrency control stuff
won't work.
6. In ~ingres/source/support, edit destroydb.c to make it include
dirent.h instead of sys/dir.h, and to add the following lines:
#ifdef linux
#define direct dirent
#define rewinddir rewinddir
#endif
before main().
If you don't do this, destroydb will fail on an ext fileystem.
7. In ~ingres/source/dbu, edit sysmon.c, change exit() to exit(0) in
the last line of systm_init().
8. In ~ingres/conf, make allclean.
9. In each subdirectory, make depend. (This requires /bin/ed-- it's
probably not necessary, but I wanted to make sure!)
10. In ~ingres/conf, make allinstall.
11. As root, temporarily make /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib
writeable, then run INSTALL.ME.
12. As root, edit /etc/rc.local to run ingreslock, after initialising
all the network daemons.
12. As ingres, run bin/usersetup to fix the users file.
13. As ingres, run bin/demodb.
At this stage, it all seems to work.
