You will have to do a liitle more work on the server side first of all.

In the openlink/lib directory hopefully you have a mkdlc7

./mkdlc7
Enter the path where Progress is installed
[/dbs/dlc7]:

Then you will need to create the object for Progress 7

./ldpro7.

If this all works you will have a pro7_sv file in the openlink/bin directory.

Run setup.p in the Progress Editor - this will ask you some questions and will create/update some more files in the openlink/bin directory.

The main file to look at is the oplrqb.ini file.

Please let me know how this goes. The client side is slightly easier.

Did you get a temporary license file from OpenLink?

Hope his helps

i installed server and client side. everything was fine except
1. when i ran the ./ldpro7 the last bit of code in the script gave an
error that the cc_r not found. (its no where on server is it C compiler thing)
heres that code:

for i in dlc7*.o
do
proexe=`echo $i | sed -e 's/dlc/pro/' -e 's/\.o//'`_sv
echo "-- $proexe"
cc_r -s -o $proexe pro7_sv.o $i $XLIBS $SYSLIBS || continue

[ -x /usr/bin/mcs ] && /usr/bin/mcs -d $proexe
mv $proexe ../bin
ls -l ../bin/$proexe
done


2. when i start the oplrqb i get message that process died but the oplrqb process is still running. (i can start and stop it but just this error)

root 82790 1 0 21:42:41 - 0:00 oplrqb (heres the oplrqb process)

and in the oplrqb.log
Mon Feb 23 2009
21:42:41 pid 53612 died with exit code 255


is this a major problem?

Regards.

Did you run a find for the cc_r? Did you check whether a _SV file was created or not?

Did you run the setup.p routine?

Have you tried started oplrb in debug mode as below from the bin directory

./oplrqb -d -v

This will give you more information.

Lots of questions, but hope this helps
