Problem with generating Forte library in compiled mode underHP-UX

Hello all,
I try to generate in compiled mode on HP-UX a Forte library starting from a
plan "the_plan" which has some supplier plans.
Everything works fine except at link time which fails.
In fact, Forte is searching for a <supplier plan name> .sl file for each of
the supplier plans (and also for the suppliers of the suppliers).
For each supplier plan, Forte has included in the link command something
like :
/opt/forte/appdist/centrale/the_plan/cl0/codegen/one_supp/one_supp.sl
which is not found obviously because these plans are not libraries.
These supplier plans are not libraries (except one) but standard source
plans.
Same behaviour if I use "Make distribution" with auto-compile or if I run
fcompile in the directory with the the_plan.lgf file.
Thanks for your help.

I'm not very familiar with HP-UX. With Linux I would just use cksum. Is there a cksum executable for HP-UX?You could find out with "man cksum"
I have it on my HP-UX boxes. That's no guarantee you have them on yours, but if it is installed there should be a man page one it.

  • Problem with generating xml and nested cursor (ora-600)

    I have a problem with generating xml (with dbms_xmlquery or xmlgen) and nested cursors.

    Is this a bug and do somebody know a workaround?

    Very simple...Drop all type objects and nested tables and create them again. You will get no error. I'll explain the reason later.

  • Problem with generate sine 50 Hz

    I have a problem with generate sine voltage with freq 50 Hz.
    I form waveform with this frequency and sent in to the "AO Write" with update rate equal waveform lenght*frequency. And so I have a cycle of my program 20 ms, but I need a cylce 5 ms.
    How I can make it right?
    I forming my waveform "Basic Function Generator" with sampling Info equal my waveform lenght.
    Message Edited by Unk on 09-28-2005 02:36 PM

    The
    amplitude
    phase
    frequency
    of the signal are independent parameters.
    You can generate the relevant signal using Basic Function Generator VI, then supply this waveform to your AO operation (DAQmx write is polymorphic and allows you to use a waveform directly as the input - those guys at NI are clever )

    When I installed the Apple programs, mobile device application did not uninstall by itself. I had to go to c://program files/common files/apple/mobile device application (or something like that) and manually delete the contents and the folders. I have a 64 bit version so I also had to visit c://program files (x86)/common files/apple/mobile application device (or similar) and also manually delete the files and folders. I had to delete the files before I could delete the folders. This manual part is probably tripping everyone up, because it's not as easy as simply hitting uninstall in the control panel. But the instructions are there. I hope this helps you.

  • Problems with loading native library/missing methods:no ttJdbcCS in java.li

    Iam facing one problem while connecting the timesten client to the server The SQL Exception which Iam getting is pasted below:-
    Problems with loading native library/missing methods: no ttJdbcCS in java.library.path
    I am working with MAC OS X 10.7.2 and my timesten client version is 11.2.1.0
    I have also changed the Java Preferences from 64-bit to 32-bit but still whenever i tried to connect with the SQL Developer it gives me the above error.

    I just tried this out. My environment is OS X 10.7.4, Timesten (32-bit) client 11.2.1.9.0, SQL Developer 3.1.07, Oracle Java 1.7.0_04.
    The key things you need to be sure to do (in a terminal window) are:
    1. Be sure to . in the TimesTen environment script <tt_install_dir>/bin/ttenv.sh to set the full TT environment.
    2. Change directory to SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper
    3. Run 'sh sqldeveloper.sh -J-d32'
    and all should be fine.
    Note that if you are using Java7 as I am then there is a step 1a. Change the CLASSPATH environment variable to specify ttjdbc6.jar not ttjdbc5.jar. For some reason running the app directly from Finder does not work even if you add -J-d32 into the sqldeveloper launch script. I'm still looking into that.

    Are you using SQL Developer?
    There is or used to be a restriction of only being able to using 32 bit. A suggestion might be to try the 32 bit client.

  • Problem with loading native library in java version "1.5.0_05"

    My application uses a native coded drawing. With java version 1.4.xx it was working just fine but with java 1.5.xx it gives the following error at the time of loading native library:
    java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/abyzov/tmp/friend32-1.6.02/libfriend.so:
    /home/abyzov/tmp/friend32-1.6.02/libfriend.so: undefined symbol: XtWindowToWidget
    I assumed that java loads all necessary X-libraries at start up but it seems to be not true for version 1.5.xx. Does anybody now about this kind of problems? Should I report it as a bug?

    I have this exact same problem. I developed an application all along using 1.4.2_08 to be exact no problems. I was forced to switch to 1.5.0_06, now when I try to run the app I get:
    java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: <path to library>/libcomlib.so: <path to library>/libcomlib.so: undefined symbol: yp_get_default_domain
    I have tried compiling it in both 1.4.2_8 and 1.5.0_06 and it compiles perfectly but when I run with 1.5.0_06 it messes up.
    If you found the problem with this or anyone else has any advice please let me know.

  • Problem with the math library functions

    Hi,
    I encountered a problem related to some functions provided by math library on sun. I narrowed it down to the following test program:
    ========================================================
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<math.h>
    void pow_res()
    double x = 10.0;
    double y = 2.5;
    printf("pow(%.2e, %.2e):%.20e\n", x, y, pow(10.0, 2.5));
    void cos_res()
    double x = -6.433230338433114370e-02;
    printf("x:%.20e cos(x):%.20e\n", x, cos(x));
    int main()
    pow_res();
    cos_res();
    return 0;
    ========================================================
    The above test program has to be linked with any math library. It is �libm� for amd64/linux, but for sparc we have choice between �libm� and �libmopt�. I am compiling above program with "cc <test_program.c> <-lm/-lmopt>" command.
    On sparc, if the above test program is getting linked with �-lm" then it gives same results for the �cos� on both amd64 and sparc, but gives different results (16th decimal digit onward) for �pow�. If it is getting linked with �-lmopt� then it gives same result for the �pow� on both the platforms, but gives different results for �cos�. Linux results match with the amd64 results.
    The �Numerical Computation Guide� provided by SUN (ftp://docs-pdf.sun.com/802-5692/802-5692.pdf page 40, table 2.10 ) says that you can trust only 15-17 decimal digits for double calculation. But here the requirement is to match the sparc results exactly with the amd64/linux or at least match the result till 20th decimal digit. I guess it is something to do with the FPU setting either through compiler options or code. I tried many different compiler options, like -fast, different combinations of compiler options provided by -fast macro, but nothing helped.
    Following is the system configuration:
    Amd64:
    gcc version: 3.3.6
    OS: RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 U7 (Linux 2.4.21-40.ELsmp x86_64)
    Sparc:
    cc version: Sun C 5.8 Patch 121015-01
    OS: SunOS 5.9 Generic_118558-21 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
    It will be great if somebody can explain the problem and the solution to get rid of it.
    Many thanks,
    Sunil

    Transcendental functions are not specified to be correctly rounded in the same
    sense as +-*/.     So it's entirely possible, and often observed, that libraries of equal
    quality deliver slightly different results.
    To simplify, suppose one wanted to compute x = 4*atan(1.0)
    which happens to be the
    transcendental number pi which is roughly, in hex and in decimali:
    .C90F DAA2 2168 C234 C... * 2^4 or 3.141592653589793239...
    But binary floating-point arithmetic can only represent certain rational numbers of
    the form of an integer of at most 53 significant bits times a power of two. The
    nearest double-precision number to pi is
    .C90F DAA2 2168 C * 2^4 or roughly 3.141592653589793116...
    This particular number has a large but finite decimal expansion. And if you
    do printf with %e.20 you will get the 20 decimal digits of that double-precision
    number's expansion, not the 20 decimal digits of pi, which only agrees to the
    15 significant decimals 3.141592653589793 and differs afterward.
    In the case of pow(10.0,2.5), (which happens to be sqrt(1.0e5))
    the correct result in hex looks something like
    .9E1D 276F D4BA C410 C... * 2^9 or roughly 3.162277660168379332...E+2
    in hex notation, while the closest double precision number is
    .9E1D 276F D4BA C8 * 2^9 or roughly 3.162277660168379612...E+2
    but it's only slightly closer than the next closest double precision number
    .9E1D 276F D4BA c0 *2^9 or roughly 3.162277660168379043...E+2
    Either answer is a good answer, and math libraries might that only aspire to
    deliver results that are close to correctly rounded might deliver either, depending
    on which approximation algorithm is used, which might depend on what's fastest
    on a particular processor.
    So why don't math libraries deliver correctly rounded results instead of almost?
    Because the slight extra increase in accuracy doesn't do much good for most
    people, and the major decrease in performance is noticeable by lots of people.
    The main payoff of correctly rounded transcendental functions is that they
    promote uniform numerical results across platforms, which is worth something
    to some people but not much to many people.
    So for those who find it worthwhile, there are correctly rounded transcendental
    function libraries available. Sun's development version is available at
    http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=41797765
    Another solution for some people is to change double variables and functions
    to long double, using powl and cosl in the examples. That increases the
    accuracy to almost 20 digits on x86 and over 30 digits on SPARC, and while
    the same issues eventually arise, most users would never encounter them.
    The SPARC long double implementation is in software rather than hardware,
    and so entails a major performance reduction compared to double.
    The Numerical Computation Guide at docs.sun.com discusses many of these
    issues at greater length.

  • Problem with reusing saved library file due to iTunes version differences

    I was running iTunes on my Windows PC with Vista 64-Bit since March 17, 2009. Everything was fine until some operating system file got corrupted two days back, and Microsoft had to wipe out my hard drive and reinstall the Operating System to the factory settings.
    I did back up everything, including the iTunes Music files and the Library files to my external hard drive. But, I forgot to note the exact version of my Itunes, except I do remmebr that I had refused all attempts by iTunes over last month or so to install Ver. 8.2 becasue of some bad things I had read in this forum about some of the problems with 8.2. I had a record of the last version I had installed and it was 8.1.0.52.
    So, after the operatng system reinstaled, I downloaded iTunes 8.1.1 and installed it. I then copied the iTunes Music files and the libary file to the exatly same folder structure as before.
    I hold down the SHIFT key and start up iTunes. And, when I point to the Library file, iTunes says that the libray file can not be accessed because it was made by a newer version of iTunes! I just don't understand how that can be!
    In any case, I can use your advice as to what do I do next to be able to use my saved library and start using my iTunes and my iPod!
    Thank you.

    I downloaded and installed iTunes ver. 8.2.0.23 x64, and now, am very happy to say, that iTunes was able to read my library, and it did recognize my iPod just fine. That's the very good news.
    Now, the slight bad news. May be 100 or so, out of some 9000 tracks of music, appear with a '!' to the left of the track listing. It si becasue it does not find it? Why?
    Now, I do have to go back to my Album files and identify each of these. Can some one please help me out as to why this problem occured? I certainly did not move any songs to any place and the folder structure is identical to what they were before!
    Thank you.

  • Problems with transferring iTunes Library to new iMac

    I am having a problem with transferring my iTunes library to my new iMac. I have read many of the suggestions posted in this forum along with numerous articles on other sites. I have not seen anyone describe my exact problem.
    When I got my new iMac, I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything (files, applications, settings, etc.) from my old iMac to the new iMac. On my old iMac, the iTunes music folder (i.e., the actual mp3s) are on an external HD, while the iTunes Library file (the database and xml files) were in the /user/Music/ folder on the old iMac.
    After the Migration Assistant was done, the /user/music/ folder and the library files were copied to the new iMac, but the iTunes music folder was not. It is still on the external HD.
    If I open iTunes on the new iMac, iTunes shows me all of my songs, but if I play one, I get the "song can't be found; do you want to find it" error. In iTunes preferences on the new iMac, the "iTunes music folder location" is the new iMac.
    I have the 2 iMacs connected by a firewire cable, but neither iMac recognizes the other computer as being on the same network. That is, in Finder on the new iMac, I cannot see the external HD of the old iMac.
    I can't change the library location on the old iMac, because the new iMac does not appear in Finder or in the "Change Music Folder Location" dialog box.
    I want to move the music folder (the actual mp3s) from the external HD of the old iMac to the INTERNAL HD of the new iMac. I don't need to keep them on the old IMac, as I will be selling that computer. Of course, I want to keep all my playlists, artwork, etc from the old library.
    Does anyone have a suggestion?
    Thanks.

    Never mind. Figured it out. I attached external HD to new iMac and consolidated. Duh.

    there is tag <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.leftlane.pl/lip14/images/364994_8207.jpg" />
    Until yesterday, every published text was getting into debugger (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/). Debugger fetch the image creating a thumbnail. Everything worked as it should.
    Unfortunately, after yesterday's failure thumbnails are no longer generated. In place of the thumbnail is a white spot, like in the picture below. Can I do something to thumbnails work again?
    We are using Adobe Muse (2014.1).

    Just a word of warning about this facebook tester, facebook caches results for sometimes upto 48 hours, so if index the page using facebook then make a change on a page then reindex most of the time (in my dealings) it looked the same, I had to throw different querystring information into the URL or use different URLs to make it look different to facebook and get a fresh (re)index and for it to pick up changes.

  • Problems with manually renaming files in List Mode

    I have an iMac 24" 2.4 Ghz with 4 Gb of RAM. Sometimes when I try to rename a file in a folder in List mode, I get unexpected and strange behavior. It is intermittent. It might be that I cannot get the highlighted current name to unhighlight (in cases where I only want to change a portion of the name), or the filename box might disappear, or the folder seems to lockup, or I get blocks every other space instead of letters. Weird, strange results. I do know that I can minimize the problem, if when first entering the filename box (by hitting 'return') I move the cursor via the cursor keys to the right over the extension and then back to the left. When I do that, it seems like I have less problems.
    All I can say is that it doesn't seem to be a robust as what I was used to in the Windows world. I'm new to Mac and this is the only complaint I have. I'm ecstatic about my Mac and can't believe I waited this long to convert over to it. If I could get this little glitch fixed, I'll be a 'happy camper'! (the problem's certainly not enough to make me go back to the misery I was in with Microsoft.)
    Has anyone else experienced any problems such as this? Or, is there a possibility that there is something wrong with my Mac?
    Or, am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for any kind help I receive.

    Finder for Intel is the same as Finder for PPC. Its the same code, sans some endian conversions.
    As for the renaming problem. Two things come to mind. In Tiger if you selected a file and pressed return, no matter what view style you were in, it would bring up the edit field and the entire name would be highlighted. In Leopard, this was changed slightly where it will now highlight everything up to the file extension. So if you have a file called 'foo.txt', it will highlight just 'foo'. This is a nice feature IMO because more often then not I don't want to change the file extension, only the 'body' of the file name.
    The Edit box disappearing is a bug that has been around for a couple OS releases where if something causes the view to update (more specifically the HIDataBrowser control List View is made of) while your renaming something, it will cancel the rename session. This can be caused by a bunch of things, like the size of a file changing or mod date changing or file being added to the directory etc. It has been around for a while, but has only become more prominant due to the addition of Icon Thumbnails in Leopard. When the thumbnail is created for the file by the Finder, List View updates to show the new thumbnail which cancels the edit session. There are a couple workarounds for this:
    1) Switch to Icon or Column View
    2) Wait for all the thumbnails to be created before starting to edit file names. Thumbnails appear pretty quickly, and only for the files that are currently visible in the window, so you shouldn't have to wait very long, and it only happens the first time you view that folder.
    3) Press Command-J while in List View and uncheck "Show Icon Previews" and then click the "Use as Defaults" button. That will turn off the icon thumbnails for all windows in List View.
    I haven't seen a problem with "blocks showing up every other space" though. I assume you mean a solid black square, right? Sounds like an invalid character in the file name. Renaming the file to something else should cure that one.

    I don't quite understand how the "editor's choice" mechanism is supposed to work. Quicken for the Mac is widely regarded as terrible --- clearly demonstrated by its reviews on the App Store. Yet Apple has this marked as an Editor's Choice. How is one
