Common Problems

Other sources of information can be found in Bond and BondDB root directories. Both have README files which cover some problems that may arise in the installation process.

Error: connection to database failed

Move to the root directory, move to the /etc/ directory. Modify pg_hba.conf file to look like the following:

   TYPE   DATABASE    USER    IP-ADDRESS    ...    METHOD   
# All other connections by UNIX sockets
   local    all        all                  ...    trust 
# All IPv4 connections from localhost
   host     all        all     127.0.0.1    ...    trust

Now restart postgres to load the new changes, using the following command.

    /etc/init.d/postgresql restart

Continue with the testing

Error: loading shared libraries failed

Change to root user, add the line '/usr/local/lib' to the files /etc/ld.so.conf'. Type 'ldconfig' in the bonddb/src directory. This should include all the libraries. If this file doesnt exist, you will need to create it. This is common for Ubuntu users as the file doesnt come installed by default. Google for ubuntu ld.so.conf for more information.

Checks

  • To check what version of your distribution is being downloaded, look in '/etc/apt/source.list'.
    Make sure that it is the most recent version, if it isn't, update sources.list with the current information.
