399.0. "can't create softlinks for data files" by TKOVOA::KURUMADA (Masafumi Kurumada/Alpha Resource Center/DEC-J) Fri Sep 09 1994 13:47

  I can't setup POLYCENTER Console Manager. Please any suggestion.

  At first, setld procedure copies all the Console Manager subsets onto 
the sysmem. Next, I try to configures Console Manager, so I encounter
the Following Error Message.

Masafumi,

  This is known problem in the IVP for V1.5, it is fixed for the
  patch kit we will be releasing next week.

  This problem will not stop your installation from working, so
  you should carry on and use the product.

Cheers,
Phil

Philip, 
  thank you for your quick reply!

  Oh, it's known problem, and we can use the Console Manager!
  But I can't setup(not install) it. I type the command, 'console -e',
  select the menu 'System...', 'create'. So Application window goes
  down. But it's good using 'console -E'. 

  Is this known bug or problem?  Am I doing the wrong operation?

Regards,
Masafumi Kurumada/Alpha Resource Center/DEC-Japan

    Masafumi,
             sorry for the delay in replying, Phil asked to look at this
    yesterday, but I got sidetracked.
    
    What you are doing is correct, so we seem to have a problem.
    
    Please could you tell me if you got any error messages when the window
    disappeared ( in the window from which you started the editor).
    
    could you just do me a favour and sum  a couple of files for me as
    well.
    
    sum /usr/opt/DCR150/bin/OSF/console_editm
    
    sum /usr/opt/DCR150/lib/X11/uid/OSF/console_editm_en_US.uid
    sum /usr/opt/DCR150/lib/X11/uid/OSF/console_editm_en_GB.uid
    
    Cheers Simon....
