Bad system call (core dumped) Solaris 11.2 (installation of Sybase 12.5.4)

Dear all,

I am trying to install Sybase ASE 12.5.4 on a Sun OS Solaris 11.2 (sparcv9) machine but I am getting the following messages when launching the setup file :

Code:
-bash-4.1$ ./setup
InstallShield Wizard

Bad System Call (core dumped)

I ran mdb to get more information and this is what I get:

Code:

Somebody told me the access system call is deprecated in Solaris 11 and that I could verify this in /usr/include/sys/syscall.h but I don't have this file.

Could you confirm this? Would you have any idea where that file is and why my setup won't run? How could I troubleshoot this?

Thank you for your help. Cheers

First you need to find documentation that Sybase 12.5.4 is supported on Solaris 11.

Then you might get some help in troubleshooting.

Else the answer is always going to be "Update your version of Sybase" or "Use Solaris 10".

[SOLVED] Bad system call (core dumped) Solaris 11.2 (installation of Sybase 12.5.4)

Thank you for your reply achenle.

Clearly you were right, somebody showed me this: infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.dc35889_1254/html/installsol/X22779.htm

It seems to say ASE 12.5.4 is compatible with Solaris 2.8 (therefore Solaris 8). I've also heard that it is 100% compatible with Solaris 9 and most likely with Solaris 10 too.

I tried to launch the setup of ASE 12.5.4 on a Solaris 10 machine and it worked all fine. Problem fixed then.

Thank you,
Regards,
