sybase 11.9.2 on freebsd 4.9

[Ken Ulc]

Hello All,

Has anyone successfully installed sybase 11.9.2 on
Freebsd 4.9 using the linux emulation.  I know 12.5 is
out, but I'm interested 11.9.2 becuase of hardware
limitations.  (old machine--see below).  I'm new to
Freebsd and I just want to install various software to
sharpen my db skills.  Starting with Sybase then
moving onto Oracle, MySQL, etc.  We currently run
sybase 11.9.2 on solaris at work.  I'm fairly
knowledgeable with Sybase and Solaris.

Steps Taken for sybase
1)rpm -ivh --nodeps --ignoreos the_various_sybase.rpms

installed itself into directory
/usr/compat/linux/opt/sybase-11.9.2
2)  I created a sybase user and group
3)  sybase .profile --> export
$SYBASE=/usr/compat/linux/opt/sybase-11.9.2
5)  export PATH=$SYBASE:$PATH
6)  chmod directory sybase:sybase
7)  brandelf -t Linux $SYBASE/bin/*
      brandelf -t Linux $SYBASE/install/*

8)  adjusted kernel shared memory values
options         SHMMAX=(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)
options         SHMMAXPGS=20480         # 80Mb of
sharable memory
options         SHMMNI=4096
options         SHMSEG=1024
options         SEMMSL=1024

6)  Recompiled kernel as root
7)  Run srvbuild as sybase

I am able to get to the point of building the servers,
but the dataserver will not build.  I have seen other
people messages with this problem, but no answer
Error
    Building master Device ... Master Device Complete.
    Writing entry into directory services ...Directory
services complete.
    Writing RUN_SERVER file ... RUN_SERVER file
complete
    Starting server ...Task failed
    Server XXXXXX was not created.

XXXX.cfg was not created.  The back, mon and xp
servers do seem to build.

Any ideas.  Thanks much.
