Hi,
the error message in the subject appears when running the setup immediately after the following line:
Installing product files to /opt/microfocus/VisualCOBOL_server.
I'm trying to install Visual Cobol and keep getting this error. We're using 64-bit Cent OS which I realise is an unsupported platform, but as far as I can see the settings in cobopt and cobopt64 appear to be correct (dont contain dead links) with the exception of LPI_SEARCH_PATH.
cobopt
-C nolist
set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32
set GCC_SEARCH_PATH=$GCC_LIB:$GCC_LIB/..:/usr/lib:/lib
set GCC_EXCEP_LIB=gcc_s
set LPI_SEARCH_PATH=${LPI_SEARCH_PATH:-/opt/lib/l
cobopt64
-C nolist
set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1
set GCC_SEARCH_PATH=$GCC_LIB:/usr/lib64:/usr/lib
set GCC_EXCEP_LIB=gcc_s
set LPI_SEARCH_PATH=${LPI_SEARCH_PATH:-/opt/lib/lib}
I'd like to see what install.sh is actually doing but can't find it anywhere either.
#VisualCOBOLI received the following information to pass onto you:
If you want to do a standard installation on CentOS, you just have to change the /etc/issue file by adding Red Hat at the beginning of the file,
See below my sample
The content of my /etc/issue to install Vcobol on CentOS
root:~>cat /etc/issue
Red Hat CentOS release 6.2 (Final)
Kernel \\r on an \\m
root:~>
------------------------------------------
The warning message the customer is seeing is correct when installing on Cent OS.
The UpdateCobopt function has a list of known platforms which we build and test on. In theory the customers should never see this message as all the platforms we support will have been tested and missing platforms added.
When a platform is added a list of support GCC versions is created. When the UpdateCobopt function is run the list of supported versions is checked with what is installed on the machine. If a match is made the cobopt file is updated the matching version. If the expected versions are missing from the machine a warning message is given telling the customer how to manually update the cobopt files.
The install.sh is kind of hidden away from the customer.
To view the file you can run the installer with the following option.
./setup_filename –extractonly
This will extract the file install.pax
Pax –rf install.pax
This will create the installer working directory will all the product and installer files in. install.sh can be found here.

#VisualCOBOLThanks Chris, that appears to have worked now, that is to say, at least there were no errors when installing. Thanks also for the info about install.pax.
