Problems with lbconfDB (PVSS interface)

For Windows users, check that the path to where you installed your oracle client is in your PATH environment variable.

For Linux users, check that the path  to where you installed your oracle client is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Check also that you have run the source lbconfDB.csh (or .sh) before starting your project.

- can't connect to the database from a linux machine

Check that the path to  libconfDB.so (and libconfDBpython.so)  is set to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Check that the version of Python is 2.3.XXX, if not and if you have access to afs type these two following cmd lines:

setenv PATH /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.3.4/slc3_ia32_gcc323/bin:$PATH

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.3.4/slc3_ia32_gcc323/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Finally check that the boost.so is set in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if access to afs type

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Boost/1.31.0/slc3_ia32_gcc323/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
