Shared Library Search Path (UNIX)
On some UNIX platforms, Ingres uses shared libraries. Since Ingres does not have a default installation directory, it is necessary to point applications and tools to where the Ingres shared libraries can be found. Doing so allows authorized users to access Ingres programs or applications.
The name of the shared library search path depends on the flavor of UNIX:
Most UNIX environments use LD_LIBRARY_PATH
HP-UX uses SHLIB_PATH
AIX versions 3 and 4 use LIBPATH
See the ld(1) or ld.so(1) man page documentation.
To define the Ingres installation shared library search path
Set the library environment variable to include the Ingres library directory, $II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib.
Failure to set the library variable will result in the error message:
ld.so.1:       /ing20/20/ingres/bin/tm: fatal:
libframe.1.so: open failed: No such file or directory
