4226.0. "ELM Installation Problems w/DECmcc V1.2" by MUTTON::LAMB (Peter Lamb - GSG Santa Clara) Wed Dec 09 1992 22:08

    Hello,
    
    One of my customers is having difficulty installing ELM 
    and I am wondering if anyone can offer any suggestions
    
    
    His message is below.
    
    Regards,

Subj:	Trouble with ELM

Peter, I'm having no luck getting the ELM going.  The PAK is
fine, but every time I install the ELM it corrupts the DECmcc
installation.

It's funny; there seem to be no errors during the installation, but
it fails the tests.  Here's an example:

	It copies the files into the right places, and updates
	the dictionaries.

	Next it enrolls a few modules.

	Then it runs "manage test mcc 0 XXX"
	where XXX is conc_am, fddi_am, etc.

	For each of those, it gets the following error message:

	Disaster IPC server unmarshall input sanity check failure
	%MCC-E-RECEIVEERROR, error trying to receive a packet

	Then, when I try to start the iconic_map, I get a small
	window with basically the same message "Error trying to
	receive a packet".  Furthermore, all of my domains have
	disappeared.

I'm confused, and don't know where to go from here.  Can you help,
or should I be calling someone else to help me?

4226.1What versions?TOOK::MINTZErik MintzThu Dec 10 1992 07:338
We need to know what versions (both of BMS and ELM) your customer
is trying to install.  It sounds very much as though he is mixing an
early field test with later production code.  In that case, it is
very likely that the kernels are incompatible.  (On ULTRIX, there are
no shareable libraries, so each image has its own copy of the kernel.
Older code will have an older kernel).
