The Sybase ASE 15.0 or 15.5 linux distribution is a mix of 64 and 32 bit executables. The dataserver itself (the ASE binary) is 64 bit, but for instance the isql client is 32 bit. Also, the installation software uses a 32 bit binary. For RedHat users this may not be an issue, but for Debian/Ubuntu users it is! This document describes how you can install and run this Sybase ASE distribution on x86_64 Debian / Ubuntu systems.
Contents
Download software
You can download Sybase ASE at http://www.sybase.com/linux/ase or http://www.sybase.com/ase_1500devel. Registration required.
Preparation
On your Ubuntu 64-bit (x86_64) machine run the following command to get started.
cd $HOME mkdir work mkdir sybase cd work
Put the downloaded file Sybase installation file (e.g. ase155_linuxx86-64.tgz) in this directory.
tar -xf ase155_linuxx86-64.tgz rm ase155_linuxx86-64.tgz
Try the installation
The Sybase installation comes with an included Java JVM and some staticly linked objects but these are all for a 32 bit platform. When you start the installation now, you get this:
./setup -console InstallShield Wizard Initializing InstallShield Wizard... Searching for Java(tm) Virtual Machine... .............................A suitable JVM could not be found. Please run the program again using the option -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR>
or
./setup.bin Preparing to install... Extracting the JRE from the installer archive... Unpacking the JRE... Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... Configuring the installer for this system's environment... Launching installer... exec: 2470: /tmp/install.dir.1506/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found
A solution for these problems is here.
Add some 32 and 64 bit libraries to your system
Not only does the installation software require 32 bit libraries, but also all client software like isql. Historical server is also a 32 bit binary. We also may need to add two additional 64 bit libraries.
Add the 32 bit libraries
The following libraries need to be added:
ld-linux.so.2 libc.so.6 libdl.so.2 libgcc_s.so.1 libm.so.6 libnsl.so.1 libnss_dns.so.2 libnss_files.so.2 libpthread.so.0 libresolv.so.2 libstdc++.so.5 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
Create a directory to store them
mkdir $HOME/lib32bits
You can copy the above mentioned files from a 32 bit Ubuntu system over to your 64 bit system, and place them in the directory.
For your convenience, you can also download them here: http://www.petersap.nl/Download/lib32bits.tar.gz
cd $HOME/lib32bits tar -xf lib32bits.tar.gz rm lib32bits.tar.gz
Become root and make a symbolic link. Replace $HOME with the appropriate value.
ln -s $HOME/lib32bits/ld-linux.so.2 /lib
Then exit from root.
Add the lib32bits directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib32bits
Add some standard 64 bit libraries to your system
Some standard libraries may need to be added to your system. You may have them installed aleady, but please check. You need to become root again.
apt-get install libaio apt-get install libaio1 apt-get install libstdc++5
Then exit from root.
Ready to install!
You have now completed your system configuration and you are ready to install Sybase ASE. Follow the detailed description on how to install and configure your Sybase installation here Installation guidelines ASE.
Final note
After you have completed "setup" modify SYBASE.sh and add the lib32bits directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then source in the file.
. $HOME/sybase/SYBASE.sh
