Hello Guys,

does anyone know where I could find an Ingres 9.0.4 non-RPM
Installer?

(Or do you know how to install the RPM Version in Debian? Alienating
does not work.)

Thanks in Advance.

Michael

Hi,

here is a non-RPM installer:
http://downloads.ingres.com/Ingres2006/int.lnx/ingres2006-9.2.0-114-NPTL-gpl-pc-
linux-ingbuild-i386.tgz
(a newer version...)

Alternative: run
apt-get install rpm
to RPM-enable your Debian server. Then you should be able to do a normal
RPM install.

I suppose you speak German. I have some installation notes about Ingres
installation on Debian, both for RPM and non-RPM method. If you have
interest, send me a PM.

Regards
Gerhard

Hello Gerhand,

thanks for your reply.

I'm sorry, I really need the Version 9.0.4.

I think the rpm command of debian is using the alien command in
background, because doing it this way gives me exact the same error as
when I'm trying to build and install debs using alien and dpkg.

I think the tar archive with the installer script would be the best
solution for my problem... But unfortunately there is no download for
this Version on the Ingres Website.

Unless you're using OME functions compiled with 9.0.4 and you can't find
library compatibility with 9.2.0, you should be able to configure 9.2.0
to be completely compatible with your existing environment and
applications, particularly for GNU/Linux, regardless of the package
management system. If you need to rollforward checkpoints you *should*
be able to do this as well, although it's probably not supported.

All of the updated features in 9.2.0 from 9.0.4 are optional, e.g.
ANSIDATE, so you should be fine with using 'ingbuild' (the TAR
installation method of INGRES) on Debian, as long as the Kernel is 2.6.

If I've missed something, please let me know. FYI, I think most INGRES
zealots still use 'ingbuild' on GNU/Linux because it always works and is
more familiar than the GTK+-driven GUI installer.

There are 9.0.4 installation tarfiles on the Community download page :
http://www.ingres.com/downloads/prod-comm-download.php

As Mark noted, you should be able to install by extracting the install
directory, then running ingbuild. I don't know if there are any issues
installing on Debian this way, but should be easy enough to try.

Hello,

Thank you to everyone contributing in this thread. My problem is now
solved.

The solution was to add the --nodeps switch to the Debian rpm
installer.

Hi Michael,

Good to know there are others interested in an easy install on Debian. There is code for generating deb files in the Ingres source repository, I'm told it should be in the next community release, but I don't know when that is. Jay Hankinson is the guy at ingres.com who's been working on Debian support he might be on this list.

I installed Ingres on Ubuntu 7.04 using the none-rpm installer last time, I had no experience of install Ingres on UNIX and the installer is certainly very 'unixy' so I found it confusing and spent about 4 hours getting it all working. I'm currently in the process of building the new source with .deb support, I'm not expecting it to be easy to install from .deb yet either.

I think Ingres has incredible potential, but I can't do `apt-get install Ingres Ingres-net Ingres-dev` etc. and that makes me unhappy. I'm hoping that building Ingres from source and playing about with the source will give me a better idea of what would need to be done and what I can do.

Regards
Tony
