Please!
Most of us are AIX admins. Having telepathic abilities is usually not part of the job description.
You have a problem and you want us to help you solve it. What do *you* know about your system? Has even this vast amount of knowledge helped you? Obviously not, because you are asking us. How are we supposed to solve it on even less information, hm? Think about it.
Lets start over: we know already the error code, which is a symptom of the problem - ok. Lets talk about basics, which are still missing:
a) Your System:
1. Model number, significant hardware additions, if applicable
2. OS version, patchlevel ("instfix -i|grep AIX_ML"), etc.
3. Name and release of the application you are trying to install
4. relevant configuration facts regarding this application
5. environment the system is supposed to operate in (networks, ...)
b) Project History:
1) What did you want to achieve
2) What have you done so far to achieve it and how/why did it fail
Here is an example of that, i have included the questionnaires numbers for reference:
Quote:
I have a Drunkomatic 3000 with 8GB RUM (a1). Notice, that we have 2 Scotchtec-adapters in flat-out-mode installed (a1). The system runs on Booze-OS 7.11 with all the latest patches (effective today) installed (a2).
We want to install the gulp-it v1.0 software (a3) and use the throwup connector to attach to an external system running Cocktail-OS (b1, a5), but failed so far.
Everytime we start the throw-up connector with "/gulp/throwup --ohmygod" (a4, b2) it exits with error code 127 and the message "liver damaged" (b2).
We tried a direct cable connection (instead of the corporate network) to eliminate possible firewall problems (a5, b2) but this didn't change anything.
We also tried to increase the ethanol-factor in /gulp/etc/concoction.conf from the default "extraordinary" to "maximum possible" (b2, a4), but it didn't work either and we reverted back to everything default (a4).
I suggest reading
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way as well as our local
FAQ- both contain hints on how to better prepare questions for posting here.
I hope this helps.
