Build Basis: Rational Insight 1.0.1

Workaround Summary

Change the configuration properties of the unixODBC to compile it as the 32-bits mode on the 64-bit systems.

More Information

Versions: Rational Insight 1.0, 1.0.0.1, 1.0.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.1.1, 1.1, 1.1.1
Platforms: All

Problem

If the configuration of unixODBC is not modified, the unixODBC is compiled and installed as 64-bits by default on the 64-bits systems. Once it is configured as 64-bit, you will not be able to use unixODBC to manage and call Rational XML ODBC driver.

Errors reported:

Error: when executing the isql -v ClearQuest will get the fragment exception issue.

Workaround

1. Prepare flags for compilation of the unixODBC:
   
   Run the ./configure command to generate the libtool file and then modify the file libtool to change the first two occurrences entry -shared to -shared -m32.
2. Run the following commands to set Flags for the system environment and configure and install the unixODBC:
   
   

   export CFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32  make  make install

   Note: on the S390x operation system need to execute the export CFLAGS=-m31 LDFLAGS=-m31 CXXFLAGS=-m31 to replace the export line.
