HPSIM and PostgreSQL

Hi there, I've spent all night trying to figure this out, been searching for hours and have tried everything I can see.

The problem is when I try to install HPSIM it gets about 50 failed dependencies errors, all of them sprouting from the postgresql .deb files.

Instead of posting all the errors here, they are attached as a .txt file.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: HPSIM and PostgreSQL

really strange!! why you are trying to install SIM 4.2? it was launched early 2006.
Currently version is 5.2.1.
Anyways your errors are because you have already Postgresql (higher version) installed and SIM is unable to overwrite it. so first remove ur postgresql {all three packages(lib,serverand postgresql)} and then run SIM again.

Note: My sugestion is if you r trying first time better you try latest SIM 5.2.1.

Re: HPSIM and PostgreSQL

Thanks for the reply.

I was told by a friend that I should use this version; it is a rather old server and I guess he didn't know if the newer versions ran on it.

Back to the problem, from what I can see, PostgreSQL isn't installed on the system.
Aptitude says there is nothing to do with it on there and that it has 0 modules to remove.

I do know my way around a linux system, but am no means an expert, any ideas how to kill whatever records of it exist?

Re: HPSIM and PostgreSQL

Ok, I just downloaded HPSIM 5.2.1, it tells me I have an unsupported operating system.

My redhat-realase says: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)

Any help on either front will be loved.

I find it hard to believe that there is nobody that can help.
My questions are not that hard and all I need is a little direction, please..

Re: HPSIM and PostgreSQL

Hi,
Sorry for late reply as it was holiday.. and i was not online.
Yeah you can straight away go and run that SIM5.2.1. just run that .bin file.
i don't think you will see any error in this version.
if you see any error i am here.

Re: HPSIM and PostgreSQL

As I said in a couple of posts up, 5.2.1 says I have an unsupported OS.

/etc/redhat-release: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)

Re: HPSIM and PostgreSQL

looks like u have latest RHEL.
ok you can extract SIM and HPSMDB from that bin.

./.bin --keep --noexec -mxserver

It will extract all rpms to mxserver directory. now install HPSMDB first which has 3 packages.
hpsmdb , server and lib ( install rhel5 one)

then install. hpsim config and server (2 RPMs)
and then after installtion run mxinitconfig -a .

hopw u will get it working soon. post reply soon..

Re: HPSIM and PostgreSQL

are u not a root?
dependencies shows either u r not root or u dont have sufficient packages installed on system. yeah its required simple command like adduser and chkconfig which are absent there.
can u check it?
