Is this on your linux webinator or solaris texis system? Full texis comes with kdbfchk for repairing corrupt tables.

If it's your linux webinator we can provide kdbfchk for that as well if you provide the full version/release info given by texis -version .

Thanks, I downloaded the kbdfchk utility

Where should this be run from? It gives the error

./kdbfchk /u1/data/health
./kdbfchk: can't load library 'libcurses.so.1'

Thanks

I downloaded the libs, which included libncurses.so.4

/usr/lib already had libncurses.so.4, same file size as the downloaded version

/usr/lib also had the symbolic link

libncurses.so -> libncurses.so.4

I added the symbolic link

libcurses.so.1 -> libncurses.so.4

The error message now is

# ./kdbfchk /u1/data/health
Segmentation fault

Is this an error in the database or an error in executing kdbfchk?

get v1.2.13/libcurses.so.1.0.0 instead.

Also, you will have to give kdbfchk the actual table filename including the .tbl extension.
