Hello!
I compiled
sybtcl on RHEL-5.7 (64bit) by hand. The extension links with the sole library
-lsybdb64.
The new extension loads into Tcl-interpreter without a problem, but refuses to connect -- to anything:
Server name not found in interface file.
Nothing unusual, huh? Newbies mess up their interfaces files all the time, right?
Well, for one Sybase's own isql continues to work -- for the same server-name on the same shell-prompt (thus, using the same environment variables).
But what's really bizarre is that, according to strace, nothing even attempts to open an interfaces file! If I strace isql-invocation, I see it opening the file up:
Code:
open("/opt/sybase/interfaces", O_RDONLY) = 6
access("/opt/sybase/interfaces", W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
stat64("/opt/sybase/interfaces", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2317, ...}) = 0
But, when I strace the sybtcl-loading tclsh-process, there is no mention of interfaces-file until the error message...
The same script -- using the same credentials -- connects without a hitch from a FreeBSD system, where sybtcl is compiled against FreeTDS, rather than Sybase/OCS...
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
