I get the error PH_IMAGE_LIB does not specify a valid library when I ty to access an Eloquence database with Powerhouse 4GL 8.41 E on Windows 2k3

I think we're on the right track, but I found that you might need two 
environment variables set...one for the library location and then one for 
the shared library (or DLL on Windows).

From an old Cognos support knowledge base document for UNIX...

1. Ensure that the location of the Eloquence libraries are contained in 
the SHLIB_PATH environment variable, for example

SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:/opt/eloquence6/lib/pa20_32

where the .../pa20_32 directory contains the 32-bit libraries

2. Ensure that the PH_IMAGE_LIB variable contains the name of the object 
library which contains the Eloquence execution time routines, for example

PH_IMAGE_LIB=libimage3k.sl 

My guess is that the same two environment variables are needed for Windows 
too. Maybe...

SET SHLIB_PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\ELOQUE~1\8.1\lib
SET PH_IMAGE_LIB=C:\PROGRA~1\ELOQUE~1\8.1\lib\image3k.lib

Regards,
Conrad

Well - the next thing I would try is setting it to the location and not 
the library.

PH_IMAGE_LIB="C:\PROGRA~1\ELOQUE~1\8.1\lib"

/mc


"Larry Watt" ---04/12/2011 03:00:40 PM---Michael, I tried what you 
suggest, and the variable seems to be set properly. I tried it with eloqdb

Michael, I tried what you suggest, and the variable seems to be set 
properly. I tried it with eloqdb32.lib and image3k.lib. It fails with 
both. 


ACTION:evarPH_IMAGE_LIB="C:\PROGRA~1\ELOQUE~1\8.1\lib\eloqdb32.lib"
Press RETURN to continue.

ACTION:evarPH_IMAGE_LIB="C:\PROGRA~1\ELOQUE~1\8.1\lib\image3k.lib"
Press RETURN to continue.


Thanks, Larry

I've never used but I would look at what PH sees when it's running

Qdesign
>scr x menu
>def rcom char*40 = 'set | find "PH_IMAGE_LIB"'
>proc des evar nod
>beg
>run com rcom now resp
>end
>go

enter evar in the action field to see what PH_IMAGE_LIB looks like to PH.

Thanks for the suggestion Ken, unfortunately, these don’t to work either

SET PH_IMAGE_LIB=C:\PROGRA~1\ELOQUE~1\8.1\lib\eloqdb32.lib
SET PH_IMAGE_LIB=C:\PROGRA~1\ELOQUE~1\8.1\lib\image3k.lib


I installed Eloquence after I installed Powerhouse, is it possible that 
Eloquence needs to be installed first, or that the Powerhouse programs 
need to be relinked with the Eloquence libraries ? 


Thanks, Larry

I was not able to get PH to talk to ANYTHING with a space in the path.
Do a DIR/X to get the short path name.
Or try

SET PH_IMAGE_LIB=C:\Progra~1\Eloquence\8.1\lib\eloqdb32.lib

My eloquence server is the same Windows 2k3 server. I am able to access it 
with no problems using query3k.

According to the Powerhouse documentation, I should be able to set the 
PH_IMAGE_LIB variable to the Eloquence library. 

Here is my Eloquence lib directory.

I have tried all of the following, and get the same error. 

SET PH_IMAGE_LIB=C:\Program Files\Eloquence\8.1\lib\eloqdb32.lib
SET PH_IMAGE_LIB=C:\Program Files\Eloquence\8.1\lib\eloqdll.lib
SET PH_IMAGE_LIB=C:\Program Files\Eloquence\8.1\lib\image3k.lib
SET PH_IMAGE_LIB=C:\Program Files\Eloquence\8.1\lib\image3kC.lib

I also tried adding the directory path to my PATH variable and got the 
same error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Larry
