Error "can not copy the lexicon" during installation

[gregorw]

Hello TREX Experts,

I have my NetWeaver ABAP 7.52 Developer Edition running in a Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS using Vagrant with this script: https://github.com/sbcgua/sap-nw-abap-vagrant. From the SAP Service Marketplace I've downloaded TREX 7.10: Revision 77 and I've also tried Revision 76. But in both cases I face the same issue during installation.

As a pre-requisite I've installed libstdc++6 and linked it to the position where the TREX installer expects it. Then I could start the installation:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6
sudo su -
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
./install.sh --action=install --sid=TRX --instance=10 --target=/sybase

That is the relevant output when the installation get's stuck:

Installing new version 7.10.76.404644, creating link: TREX_7.10.76.404644 -> /sybase/TRX/exe/nuc/linuxx86_64/trex_new

Hope that anyone can help me with that unsupported installation.

Hi Gregor,

I haven't used TREX in ubuntu but I would suggest the errors point to sapinit. Ubuntu does not have the chkconfig command which prevents sapinit install.

I would suggest commenting out the chkconfig lines in installsapinit.sh script in the install directory "support/installsapinit.sh" or replace/add a line with

systemctl enable ${SAPINIT}

However.

Before installing again, also link sh to bash and not dash as most likely the case in Ubuntu and try again

/bin/sh -> /bin/bash

**even if the above gets past the error - not sure TREX will work on unsupported O/S**

Regards

Robert

Thank you Robert, that brought me one step closer to a solution. I was able to finish the installation. At the first start the start failed do to the command lockfile not found. After installing:

sudo apt-get install procmail

The start continues further but now I get the following error in /usr/sap/TRX/TRX10/vhcalnplci/trace/TrexDaemon_vhcalnplci.00000.000.trc:

Perhaps you have some more tips.
