Can you give details?  Is this from a layered products CD-ROM (which one?),
or from files copied over the net?

I haven't seen this before, so I'd have to investigate.

Charlie

    
    I am using digital Unix 4.0b.  The layered products CD_ROM I used, is
    the latest (January) one.  I think the add330 is in the first CD.

    By the way, i had no problems installing it from the CD, it was just
    doing the setld -x.  A customer ran into this problem and I rreproduced
    it here at the CSC.

I'll see if my system management can find this CD so I can try it.

I haven't heard of the problem before.  I'm glad the install from the
CD works.  I assume from what you say that the extract to disk either
doesn't work, or that what comes down on the disk isn't usable?

    I am sorry I was not very clear.  When the setld -x gave me the checksum
    error,  I did not try installing from the disk.  This was actually a
    customer's call.  The customer decided to install from the CD directly.
    
    If you like, I can install from the disk, ignoring the error message,
    and let you know what happens.

If you can, please do.  I found a CD to use, but have been "distracted"
with other issues.

Thanks,

    Charlie,
    
    I got some time today to work on this.  I installed directly from the
    January 1997 distribution CD.  My digital unix version is 4.0b.  The
    installation was successful, but the IVP failed with the following:
    
    # /usr/sbin/setld -v ADABASE330

    The results were the same when I installed from a directory to which I
    had extracted the subsets (and got the checksum errors that I mentioned
    in my note 0).  Installed fine, but the IVP failed.
    
    Would you please install the software on your system and run IVP and
    see what happens?
    
    Thanks,

Oh my.  If you're saying that installing from the CD gives IVP errors,
that is serious.  I have the masters savesets for the CD, and they
install just fine.

Guess I'd better try this, in anticipation of the problem reports we might
get.

Meanwhile, if you need valid savesets, try node exrad.zko.dec.com,
/public/ADA330, which is where Unix engineering pulled my kit.

Charlie

I tried several things, but was only able to reproduce one symptom
you report:

    setld: ADALIB401: extract checksum error
    setld: ADALIB322: extract checksum error

I checked the checksum of the files extracted (using "sum") and find
correct checksums:

gonif.zko.dec.com> sum ADALIB322
52789    260 ADALIB322
gonif.zko.dec.com> sum ADALIB401
63049    250 ADALIB401

I was able to install and run the IVP cleanly from either the CD-ROM,
or from the extracted disks on file.

My CD is labeled Disc 1 of 4, January 1997.  AG-PPWXXS-XE, Digital UNIX
Alpha Software Product Library.  I used the "mount -r" command to access
the CD.

These sorts of errors suggest that something may be wrong with your
system.  These are CMA entry points in DECthreads.

The linking line which Ada uses on UNIX is:

        -lada -lm -lots -lpthreads -qlpthread -lmach -lexc -qlc_r -lc

which might suggest the lib* libraries which might be incorrect/missing
on your system?
