[MonetDB-users] Problem starting monetdbd after installing MonetDB
Hi all,
i get the following error after installing MonetDB from CVS (tip) and running monetdb/d.
$ monetdbd cannot open config file (null) unable to retrieve startup status
$ monetdb cannot open config file (null)
As opposed to the previous version i had (a version of CVS during November), now there is no /etc subdirectory inside the MonetDB installation directory, where the configuration files lie. I also searched for any configuration files inside the build directory, in case sth had gone wrong during installation, but nothing has been generated.
I also noticed that the installation procedure when compiling from CVS has been changed. Do i miss something? I just run bootstrap, configure, make, and last make install. One last remark: in the manpage of monetdbd (and monetdb), the configuration file in question is referenced as @MONETDB5_CONFFILE@. Shouldn't had been mapped to a filename?
Thanks, Babis

I assume you mean Mercurial here.

I'm sorry. This indeed got (and still is) broken in the default branch. You probably better use the Mar2011 branch, where this isn't broken, until I can finalise a huge cleanup and change process, which broke monetdb(d) for the moment.

Yes, of course.

Cool, thanks for the quick response.

In general, while we appreciate any "dare-devil" beta-testing of our latest cutting-edge development code base (and the resulting reports like this one), we recomment everybody who is not actively involved in the core MonetDB development or explicitly requires recently added features, to use the latest release (branch), currently still "Oct2010" (cf., http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Releases/Oct2010/index.html), or the latest release-candidate (branch), right now "Mar2011" (cf., http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26986413).
