Install on Ubuntu 10.10

[scott]

I had an easy time installing SciDB on a fresh Ubuntu (10.10) download The one bit in the recipe from http://trac.scidb.org/wiki/PrivateArea/Ubuntu10 that could be updated is that libprotobuf is now up to libprotobuf6 (with the default apt-get config).

Thank you, we updated the instructions. Glad to you hear you installed it easily!

I have followed the following steps for installation on Ubuntu 10.10:-

tar xvfz scidb-0.7.5.1557.tgz
cd scidb-0.7.5.1557
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential cmake libboost1.40-all-dev \
postgresql-8.4 libpqxx-3.0 libpqxx3-dev libprotobuf6 libprotobuf-dev \
protobuf-compiler doxygen flex bison libxerces-c-dev libxerces-c3.1 \
liblog4cxx10 liblog4cxx10-dev libcppunit-1.12-1 libcppunit-dev \
libbz2-dev postgresql-contrib libconfig++8 libconfig++8-dev \
libconfig8-dev subversion
cmake .
make
sudo make install

After that I edited the /opt/scidb-0.7.5/etc/config.ini file and postgres was running too.
After that when I gave "scidb-0.7.5 init test1" script on the terminal it returned "scidb-0.7.5: command not found"

scidb-0.7.5 is a wrapper script that launches scidb. You may have to add this to your path:

export PATH=/opt/scidb-0.7.5/bin:/opt/scidb-0.7.5/share/scidb:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/scidb-0.7.5/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Hello, Akhil
From the error message, it looks like your opt/scidb-0.7.5/etc/config.ini file refers to a network interface that does not exist. Is that possible? I would start with that file...

I've recently gone through the exercise of setting up scidb for a single node and here are the steps I followed. Maybe these will help you?

Code: Select all

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and a single-node configuration.

First setup postgres:
postgres@scalpel:/home/apoliakov/workspace/scidb_075$ /opt/scidb-0.7.5/bin/scidb-prepare-db.sh
Enter catalog owner name: scidb_user1
Create user scidb_user1? (y/n): y
Enter password for new role: password
Enter it again: password
Catalog database name: test1
UPDATE 1
GRANT
Do you want create catalog structure now? (y/n): y
...

Then create a config.ini file. This is mine. It's for one node:
apoliakov@scalpel:/opt/scidb-0.7.5/etc$ cat config.ini
[test1]
master_ip=127.0.0.1
db_user=scidb_user1
db_passwd=password
install_root=/opt/scidb-0.7.5
metadata=/opt/scidb-0.7.5/share/scidb/meta.sql
pluginsdir=/opt/scidb-0.7.5/lib/scidb/plugins
logconf=/opt/scidb-0.7.5/share/scidb/log4cxx.properties
master_data_dir=/home/apoliakov/test_data
master_port=1239
interface=eth0

You can then init the system like so:
apoliakov@scalpel:/opt/scidb-0.7.5/share/scidb$ ./scidb-0.7.5 init test1

And start it like so:
apoliakov@scalpel:/opt/scidb-0.7.5/share/scidb$ ./scidb-0.7.5 start test1

After I performed these steps, I could use "iquery" to run queries on the system.


Maybe these steps can help? Please keep us informed of your progress.

the problem was with config.ini file..its working fine now! thanks!

hi,
I met some problems the same with you ,as follow:

can anybody help me?

Hello,
The error message means that scidb is looking for the directory '/mnt/master' and it does not exist on your system.
It looks like you need to edit your config.ini file to make sure all the paths are right.
The /mnt/master entry probably comes from this line that's in our instructions.

Code: Select all

master_data_dir=/mnt/master


I recommend creating a directory for scidb data (some path that works for you) and changing this field to point to that directory.
For reference, there's one config.ini file example upstream in this thread.

Let me know if you have more problems...

hi,
I finally successfully installed the scidb and can use the iquery command. The solution were that I created a new directory , modified the master_ip and interface.....
Thank you and Akhil ~~~
