trouble installing PH 8.43.D1 for AIX

[Brett Greiner]

Hi Dirk

I assume that you did a "cd" to the directory "<install
directory>/ph843d1" before running the "./install" command?
That's correct.

Logged is as root.
ls -l install displays;
SYS=/test|root:/apps/cognos/ph843d1>ls -l install
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     sys           15223 May 01 14:26 install
SYS=/test|root:/apps/cognos/ph843d1>



To show you the ^M issue we have and why we assume its in a DOS format
....
SYS=/test|root:/apps/cognos/ph843d1>cat -v setpow.sh
###^M
^M
# SetPowerHouseServer script for (Bourne) sh users^M
# DON'T execute this script, 'dot' it e.g.^M
#   . /usr/cognos/ph843d1/setup.sh^M
# (otherwise, the environment variables will just get lost).^M
^M
# Maintenance note: the logic to update the user's PATH variable^M
# assumes that PowerHouse is kept in a directory that contains^M
# cognos and ph in that order in its directory path.^M



And running the script seems to fail on a blank file where the ^M is the
only character...
SYS=/test|root:/apps/cognos/ph843d1>sh -v setpow.sh
###

setpow.sh[2]: ^M:  not found.
# SetPowerHouseServer script for (Bourne) sh users
# DON'T execute this script, 'dot' it e.g.

Carriage returns at the end of each line of a script should not affect
its execution. It may be a file protection issue. I assume that you did
a "cd" to the directory "<install directory>/ph843d1" before running the
"./install" command? When you do an "ls -l install" in that directory,
what do you see? Are you logged in as the root (or similarly privileged)
user?

Hi all

We have received Powerhouse version 8.43.D1 for AIX on CD. 

I aliased to the root user and proceeded to copy the PH folder from CD
onto the AIX box, then we ran the install program by doing the command >
./install<enter>. 
AIX responds with ksh: ./install:  not found.

By looking at the supplied setpow.sh script in vi, there are ^M at then
end of the lines, indicating to me that the data written onto the CD is
in a DOS format.
Would that be correct to assume why it won't run the install program?

Can anyone help?

Cheers
Brett
