Description
Description: Symptoms ======== While trying to install SmartSockets 6.5.1 on Alpha Tru64 you will see the following:
Do you agree to the License Agreement? [y]: y Do you wish to continue installing TIBCO SmartSockets 6.5.1? [y]: y Would you like to install optimized only version? [y]: y
tar: ss65/include/alpha_osf/rtworks : Not a directory
At this point the installation will abort and you will be returned to the shell prompt.
Impact ====== Other Product fails to install
Workaround ========== The best workaround is to create separate subdirectories for each maintenance release of SmartSockets. Since you already have a /ss65 directory (from your installation of SmartSockets 6.5.0, the first step is to create an /r0 subdirectory. The commands to perform this step are: cd <install dir>/ss65/ mkdir r0 mv * r0 cd r0 ./install/rtmove Answer the questions presented to you and you will now have relocated your ss65 installation to ss65/r0
The next step is to create an r1 subdirectory and to load the 6.5.1 product into it. The commands are: cd <install dir>/ss65 mkdir r1 cd r1
Now install SS6.5.1 using this as the base directory which will leave you with the new product installed in the directory <install dir>/ss65/r1/ss65. To eliminate the 'extra ss65' directory use the following commands: cd <install dir>/ss65/r1/ss65 mv * .. cd .. rmdir ss65 ./install/rtmove Answer the questions presented and you will now have a working installation of SmartSockets 6.5.1
Once you have followed these steps you will have both SS6.5.0 and SS6.5.1 available on your system. Which version you are using will depend on whether you source the rtinit.csh in <install dir>/ss65/r0/bin, or the one in <install dir>/ss65/r1/bin.
Cause ===== This issue is caused by the interaction between the SS installation script and the way Tru64 manages the file system.
Resolution ========== This issue has been reported as product defect # 1-1MPYY0 and will be addressed in a future product release Symptoms:
