Webinator install fails on AIX 4.3.3

Post by ferruccio_manclossi »

Hi,
installation of Free Webinator fails on my AIX box with the following message:

Install dir [ENTER for /usr/local/morph3]:
Checking install dir...Ok
Checking tar file...Ok
Unpacking Webinator files...Ok
Checking for existing version..................
Texis found
------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: You appear to have a newer or conflicting Texis installation
in '':
stty: tcgetattr: A specified file does not support the ioctl system call. exec()
: 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/local/morph3/install-tmp/usr/local/morph3/bi
n/monitor because of the following errors: 0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for
monitor because: 0509-136 Symbol setenv (number 218) is not exported from depen
dent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o). 0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols wit
h the 'dump -Tv' command.

Do you wish to proceed with the Webinator install even though you
already have Texis installed? You may lose some functionality or your
Texis may not work at all.
(Your currently installed license will be retained.)

Continue install (y/n)? y
Checking files...Ok
Configuring and installing Webinator files:

Cleaning up temp files...done

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Where is your web server's CGI directory? This is the full path to
the file system (*not* URL) directory on this machine containing your
CGI programs. Usually this is under the top directory for the web
server. For Apache servers, it is probably the second argument to
ScriptAlias in your conf file.

This installation will install some programs (symlinks) in the CGI
directory you specify. Programs there must be executable by the web
server. The install will verify this with a web fetch.

CGI dir: /usr/lpp/internet/server_root/cgi-bin

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the prefix for CGI URLs (the part of the URL before the program)?
o You may enter a URL, such as http://localhost/cgi-bin
if your site uses virtual hosts or a port other than 80. The site
must reside on this machine (the one running the install).
o Or you can enter just a URL path such as /cgi-bin (assumes host above)
o Or enter /newdir to start over with a new CGI directory instead.

CGI URL prefix [ENTER for http://localhost/cgi-bin]: /cgi-bin

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the extension for CGI URLs (the filename extension of the program)?
This may be .cgi if your CGI programs are named like "mysearch.cgi" in URLs.
Or it may be "none" if you have a dedicated CGI dir and URL instead.

CGI extension [ENTER for none]:
Stopping monitor processes.....done
Checking dir with a web fetch...Ok
Verifying version...exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/local/morph3/bin/t
exis because of the following errors:
0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for monitor because:
0509-136 Symbol setenv (number 218) is not exported from
dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o).
0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
'dump -Tv' command.
*** Failed ***
The URL 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/texis/installt ... html?-dump'
failed: No Vortex version in reply. The web server apparently did not
run Vortex for that URL. Try again.
CGI dir:

Have any idea?
Thanks in advance

It would appear that you have some kind of non-standard AIX installation. "setenv" is a totally standard function that should always be in libc. You'll probably need to contact your machine administrator or your AIX distributor to find out why it's missing.
