Troubleshooting in UNIX and Linux IT › General Technical Tips

General Technical Tips

Some general technical tips are:

1. It is important to closely adhere to guidelines for software version requirements, for example DBMS and C versions.
2. Separate AEPATH paths and directories with a semicolon (;), not a colon(:).
3. Use the following procedure to find the library where an unresolved reference resides.
   1. Enter the Bourne shell, if necessary.

      sh
      

   2. Compose the following script:

      for i in 'find / -name '*.a''
      do
      ar -t $i "missing_name".0
      echo $i
      done
      

      This script searches all libraries for the missing name. The echo statement lists each name. When the missing name is found in a library, it is listed just before the library name. Otherwise, the system returns the message:

      Not found.
      

When generating a cooperative application with a UNIX or Linux server, generate the client and server separately because the client is local and the server is remote.
